Remarks

  1. ↑ a b geoportail.fr (1: 16,000)
  2. ↑ a b Although the river name Gaves Réunis appears in this form in the official French maps of geoportail.gouv.fr , the French water database sandre.fr ignores this name and subsumes this water body under the name Gave de Pau . The length was therefore estimated based on the maps.
