It flows northwest through the following departments and towns: Aude: Payra-sur-l'Hers, Salles-sur-l'Hers Haute-Garonne: Villefranche-de-Lauragais, Baziège, Toulouse, Saint-JoryIt flows into the Garonne near Grenade-sur-Garonne. Its waters, augmented by the Girou which flows into its right bank, irrigate the market gardens around Toulouse. The Canal du Midi crosses the Hers-Mort near Villefranche-de-Lauragais via the Hers Aqueduct.
