Midouze

The Midouze is an affluent of the Adour whose course is located on the department of the Landes. Midouze is a Mot-valise formed starting from the name of two rivers, the Midou (or Midour) and the Twelve, whose junction with Mount-with-Marsan constitutes Midouze. Midou and the Twelve take their source in the Département of Gers. Midouze throws in Adour shortly after Tartas.

Midouze itself has a 43 km length between Mount-of-Marsan and its mouth. This corresponds to a length of 151 km since the source of Midou.
