Individual evidence

  1. a b geoportail.fr (1: 16,000)
  2. a b The information on the length of the river over the Midouze at SANDRE (French), accessed on September 1, 2009, cannot be used because the 151.5 km listed there obviously describe the course of the Midouze including the Midou. The length specification was therefore taken from fr.wiki .
