[edit] Etymology
The name Gélise comes from the Aquitanian hydronymic root Jel, meaning "watercourse."
[edit] Geography
The Gélise originates in the Gers département at Cahuzères, north of Lupiac, then it flows northwest in the direction of Eauze. It drains the land around Castelnau-d'Auzan, then it flows northeast where it forms the natural boundary between the forest of the Landes of Gascony, the slopes of the Armagnac-Ténarèze.
It unites with the Baïse just after passing the fortified mill of Lavardac in Lot-et-Garonne.
