The Cèze (French pronunciation: [sɛz]; Occitan: Céser) is a karstic French river, a right tributary of the Rhône.[1] It runs through the departments of Lozère and Gard in the Occitanie region. It is 128 km (80 mi) long,[2] and its basin area is 1,360 km2 (530 sq mi).[3] Its source is in the Cévennes mountains, near Saint-André-Capcèze. It flows through Bessèges, Saint-Ambroix, Bagnols-sur-Cèze, and it flows into the Rhône at Codolet, southwest of Orange.
Its longest tributaries are the Luech, Auzon, Tave, Ganière and Aiguillon.[2]
In the dry season, the Cèze sometimes dries up.[4]
