The Vert, is a left tributary of the Gave d'Oloron, that drains the Barétous in the High- Béarn ( Pyrénées-Atlantiques), in the Southwest of France. It flows into the Gave d'Oloron in Moumour, downstream from Oloron-Sainte-Marie. It is 35.0 km (21.7 mi) long. [1]
Vert means 'green' in French, but the river name, Bert in 1467, is related to the Gascon word barta that means ' floodplain'.
The Vert is formed in Aramits from the confluence of:
- (R) the Vert d' Arette, Larron in 1589, from the Chousse Plateau, below the Pic de Guillers, elevation 1,597 metres (5,240 ft),
- (L) the Vert de Barlanès, from Issarbe and Lanne-en-Barétous.
