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 .

- ↑ 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.
