The Gaves réunis (French pronunciation: [ɡav ʁeyni]) is a 9.4 km river in southwestern France connecting Peyrehorade to the Adour at Bec du Gave.[1] It is formed by the confluence of the Gave de Pau and the Gave d'Oloron. It is navigable for 8 km from the confluence with the Adour until the town Peyrehorade.[2]
