The river Seine flows through the city of Rouen in northern France.
The second-longest river in France, the Seine has a total length of 777 kilometers (or 483 miles) and originates at Source-Seine, approximately 350 kilometers (or 217 miles) to the southeast of Rouen and 30 kilometers (or 19 miles) northwest of Dijon. From there, the Seine flows through Paris, onwards to Rouen and eventually empties into the English Channel at Le Havre.
Helped by dredging, the Seine is navigable by ocean-going vessels as far as Rouen, making the city an important commercial shipping port despite lying 120 kilometers (or 75 miles) from the sea.
