Hello!! It's been a long time since I wrote in this blog, but I've returned!!! Well, lets start:
I am going to talk about a river, the river Seine:
The River Seine is about 445 km long and it is 24m above sea level. It's depth is 8m when flowing through Paris, and it´s flow is very slow therefore it is easily navigable. It is the second longest river in France after the river Loire with a length of 776km. The mouth of the river is located on the English Channel. It is, perhaps, the best known river in France. The river starts just outside Dijon and flows to the North west through Troyes. It continues its journey to Paris, the capital of France. Then goes to Fontainbleau. Before reaching the English Channel, it goes through Rouen.
Ile Saint Louis is surrounded by the river Seine. This small island is like an oasis in the middle of Paris. Ille Saint Louis is one of the most visited places of Paris, in this island is the famous Cathedral, Notre Dame.
The name "Seine" comes from the Latin Sequana. Sequana was the goddess of the river Seine. She was represented like a large bronze statue of a woman, draped in a long gown and with a diadem on her head, she stands in a boat shaped like the head of a duck. The statue is now in the Musée archéologique de Dijon.
