The Bévéra ( Italian : Bevera , Occitan and Ligurian : Beura) is a 38 km long tributary of the Roya , which in the French department of Alpes-Maritimes in the region d'Provence-Alpes-Cote Azur and in the Italian province of Imperia in the region Liguria runs and drains an area of ​​around 131 square kilometers.

course

The Bévéra rises in the Mercantour National Park on the Authion massif ( 2078  m ), just a few kilometers northeast of the Col de Turini , on the municipal boundary of Moulinet and Breil-sur-Roya . It flows south and touches the center of Moulinet. At Sospel it changes its course to the east, flows through the outermost part of the municipality of Breil-sur-Roya for a short distance and crosses the border to Italy after 27 kilometers at Olivetta San Michele . The Bévéra now keeps to the south-east and meanders past a partially uninhabited, wooded valley. It flows through the municipality of Airole and flows into the Roya at Bevera (municipality of Ventimiglia ) at 21  m slm as a right tributary, which flows into the Ligurian Sea a little later .

  3. ↑ Checking the length of the French section with measurement function from https://www.geoportail.gouv.fr/carte showed between 26.4 km and 26.7 km. Then checks using GPSies tracks: Frazione_italiana_del_fiume_Bevera = 16.7 km and Bévêra –- Bevera_total = 42.94 km. The French part would be only 16.4 km long. The total length determined by GPSies is therefore rather too short than too long.
