[edit] Geography

The Luy is the union of two neighnoring rivers, the Luy de Béarn (77 km) in the south, and the Luy de France, the main course. Both rise in Béarn, at the base of the plateau of Ger in the east of Pau.

They flow north-west through the Chalosse and join below the castle of Gaujacq. The Luy flows into the Adour downstream from Tercis-les-Bains (in the south of Dax).
