The Seine is a river in France. It has a length of 776 km and a catchment area of 79,000 km², and lies almost entirely within French territory. The Seine flows from the Langres Plateau through Troyes, Paris and Rouen. Downstream from Paris, it flows strongly meandering to its mouth at Le Havre on the English Channel. Its main tributaries are the Yonne, the Marne and the Oise.
The Seine or Seine basin covers 78,610 km² in northern France and 40 km² in southern Belgium. The Seine and its tributaries drain this area into the English Channel. Major tributaries of the Seine are the Risle, Eure, Oise, Aisne, Marne, Yonne and Aube. The basin borders that of the Meuse to the north-east, that of the Rhône to the south-east and that of the Loire to the south-west. Together with the rivers draining directly to the Normandy coast, the Seine basin is the fourth largest basin in France, after the Rhône and the Mediterranean coast, the Loire and Brittany and the Garonne and Adour.
Almost a third of France's population lives in the Seine basin, including in the capital Paris. France also refers to the Paris basin (bassin parisien), by which one does not mean the Seine basin but, on the one hand, the geological basin in which Paris lies and, on the other, the economic hinterland around the capital.

But also on my way to work, an appointment or holiday, I see shots everywhere that work well 'on the wall', online..
