Individual evidence
- ↑ a b geoportail.fr (1: 16,000)
- ↑ a b The information on the length of the river over the Luy at SANDRE (French), accessed on June 11, 2009, cannot be used as the given value obviously also includes the course of the source river Luy de France . The value given here was therefore calculated by subtracting the value of 85 km given for the Luy de France in French Wikipedia from the total length of 155 km .
