Seine River

Through Paris flows

The Seine is the major river flowing through Paris, France, running approximately 480 miles from eastern France to the English Channel.

It divides Paris into the Right Bank and Left Bank—terms that have come to represent distinct cultural identities.

A boat cruise on the Seine is a quintessential Parisian experience.
