Loue

The Loue is a river of eastern France, a left tributary of the Doubs, which it joins downstream of Dole. It is 122 km long. Its source is a karst spring in the Jura mountains near Ouhans, which at least partly receives its water from the Doubs. This connection with the Doubs was discovered in 1901 when a spillage from the Pernod factory into the Doubs was transmitted into the Loue.

The Loue flows through the following departments and towns:


 * Doubs: Ornans, Quingey
 * Jura: Montbarrey
