The Louge is a river in France that runs in the Haute-Garonne department in the Occitanie region . It rises on the plateau of Lannemezan , in the municipality of Villeneuve-Lécussan , generally drains north-east and flows into the Garonne after 100 kilometers in the urban area of Muret as a left tributary . 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 Saint-Martory and the Rigole de la Louge , which in turn draws its water from the Canal de la Neste .
The water in the Louge itself is also diverted for irrigation through channels, such as B. by the Canal de Franquevielle à Cardeilhac .
