The Gimone is a river in France that runs in the Occitania region . It rises on the plateau of Lannemezan , in the municipality of Saint-Loup-en-Comminges , generally drains north to northwest and flows into the Garonne after 136 kilometers in the municipality of Castelferrus , just south of Castelsarrasin , as a left tributary . On her way she touches the Haute-Garonne , Hautes-Pyrénées , Gers and Tarn-et-Garonne departments . Since it has little water in dry periods, it is - like most rivers on the Lannemezan plateau - artificially irrigated; in their case through the Canal de la Gimone et de l'Arrats , which in turn draws its water from the Canal de la Neste .
