The Ourajoux (also: Lourajou ) is a river in France that runs in the Lot department in the Occitanie region . It rises under the name Ruisseau de Dégagnazès in the hamlet of the same name in the municipal area of Peyrilles , initially drains towards the southwest and seeps into the karst underground at the Grotte de Graffiol , south of Thédirac . After an underground course of around 1.5 kilometers, it rises again from a karst spring under the name Ruisseau de Malemort and turns from northwest to north. Only in the lower reaches it takes on its final name, turns to the northeast and flows into the Céou as a left tributary after a total of 23 kilometers in the northeastern municipality of Salviac .
