Lot

Lot (anc. Oltis), one of the largest tributaries of the Garonne in France, rises in Mont Lozère, a section of the Cévennes, flows in a generally western direction, being known at first as the Olt, through the departments of Lozère, Aveyron, Lot, and Lot-et-Garonne, and joins the Garonne from the right at Aiguillon, after a course of nearly 300 miles, nearly two-thirds being navigable.
