The Pique (French pronunciation: [pik] ⓘ) is a 33 km long river in southern France, left tributary of the Garonne.[1] Its source is in the Pyrenees, on the north side of the Port de Venasque mountain pass. It flows generally northward, entirely within the Haute-Garonne département. It passes through the resort town Bagnères-de-Luchon and Cierp-Gaud. It flows into the Garonne in Chaum.
