The Néez of Gan, is a left tributary of the Gave de Pau, in Béarn (Pyrénées-Atlantiques), in the Southwest of France. It flows into the Gave downstream from Pau.
Name
The Néez (aka Nez, Néès, Neys…) shares its name with another tributary, the Néez of Saint-Créac, in the south of Lourdes.
This name is a variant of the Pyrenean hydronym Léez (alternation l / n).
Geography
The Néez rises on the territory of Rébénacq; it is fed by the brook of Houndarnas, a small brook flowing from the slopes of Sévignacq, and by several resurgences of the gave d'Ossau in the south of the village.
