The Têt (French: [tɛt] ⓘ; Catalan: Tet [ˈtɛt]) is the largest river in Pyrénées-Orientales, southwestern France. It is 115 kilometres (71 mi) long.[1] The Têt has its source at the foot of the Puig de la Cometa de l'Espagne in the Carlit massif in the eastern Pyrenees. It crosses the Pyrénées-Orientales département (Northern Catalonia) from West to East and ends in the Mediterranean Sea, near Perpignan (Catalan: Perpinyà).[2]
