The Louet is a river in France that runs through the Occitania and Nouvelle-Aquitaine regions. It rises under the name Ruisseau de Pissaca in the municipality of Gardères , generally drains in a northerly direction and flows into the Adour after 44 kilometers in the municipality of Castelnau-Rivière-Basse as a left tributary . On its way, the Louet crosses the Pyrénées-Atlantiques and Hautes-Pyrénées departments , and this is where the emphasis is placed, as the river touches not only the core area of Hautes-Pyrénées, but also some enclaves of this department in the neighboring Pyrénées-Atlantiques department.
