	Tarn River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Tarn River (from the Latin tarnis meaning rapid or walled in) is a 375 kilometre (235 miles) long tributary river of the Garonne, and flows through the départements of Lozère (Languedoc-Roussillon région), Aveyron, and then the eponymous Tarn and Tarn-et-Garonne départements, the last three départements being located in the Midi-Pyrénées région in southwest France.
		The tributaries of the Tarn include the Tarnon, the Dourbie, the Agoût, and the Aveyron, and the Tarn separates the Narbonne and Aquitaine basins.
		The Tarn River is famous for its brutal floodings, which are the most dangerous in Europe along with the Danube River.
