River Seine

River Paris, Ile-de-France, France

What to expect

The Seine River is a 777-kilometre-long river in northern France, flowing through the city of Paris and into the English Channel at Le Havre. The river is navigable by ocean-going vessels as far as Rouen and is a popular destination for recreational boating and sightseeing tours. With 37 bridges in Paris, the Seine offers stunning views and a rich history. The river's drainage basin covers most of northern France, and its fertile centre in the Île-de-France region has been the cradle of the French monarchy and the nucleus of the expanding nation-state. The Seine's slow flow and regular regime make it an ideal location for families to explore and enjoy the scenic views of the French countryside
