The Loue (French pronunciation: [lu] Audio file "LL-Q150 (fra)-Sartus85-loue.wav" not found) is a river of eastern France, a left tributary of the Doubs, which it joins downstream of Dole. It is 122 km (76 mi) long.[1] 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.[2]
The Loue flows through the following departments and towns:
