Geography

The Luy is the union of two neighboring rivers, the Luy de Béarn, which is {{convert|77|km|mi}} long, in the south, and the Luy de France, the main course. Both rise in Béarn, at the base of the plateau of Ger, east of Pau.

They flow north-west through the Chalosse region and join below the castle of Gaujacq. The Luy flows into the Adour downstream from Tercis-les-Bains (south of Dax).
