The Truyère (Occitan: Truèire) is a river in southwestern France. It is the main tributary of the Lot river.
Geography
The Truyère river has a length of 167.2 km (103.9 mi) and a drainage basin with an area of 5,507 km2 (2,126 sq mi).[1]
Its average yearly discharge (volume of water which passes through a section of the river per unit of time) is 69.5 cubic metres per second at Entraygues-sur-Truyèret.[2]
Course
The Truyère starts in the Margeride mountains, south-western Massif Central, north of Mende, in the "commune" of La Villedieu (Lozère department), at an altitude of about 1,460 m (4,790 ft).[3]
The Truyère flows to the west, in general, and passes through 2 regions, 3 departments and 44 communes:[1]
- Occitanie region
- Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region
- Occitanie region
Finally, it flows, as a right tributary, into the Lot river, in Entraygues-sur-Truyèret, in the Aveyron department, at 228 m (748 ft) of altitude.[4]
The Garabit Viaduct is a bridge over the Truyère near Ruynes-en-Margeride that was built by Gustave Eiffel.
There are several dams over the river to produce hydroelectricity.
