The Seine (/seɪn/ SAYN; French: La Seine, pronounced: [la sɛːn]) is a 776-kilometre (482 mi) long river and an important commercial waterway within the Paris Basin in the north of France. It rises at Source-Seine, 30 kilometres (19 mi) northwest of Dijon in northeastern France in the Langres plateau, flowing through Paris and into the English Channel at Le Havre (and Honfleur on the left bank). It is navigable by ocean-going vessels as far as Rouen, 120 kilometres (75 mi) from the sea. Over 60 percent of its length, as far as Burgundy, is negotiable by commercial riverboats and nearly its whole length is available for recreational boating; excursion boats offer sightseeing tours of the Rive Droite and Rive Gauche within the city of Paris.
There are 37 bridges within Paris and dozens more spanning the river outside the city. Examples in Paris include the Pont Louis-Philippe and Pont Neuf, the latter of which dates back to 1607. Outside the city, examples include the Pont de Normandie, one of the longest cable-stayed bridges in the world, which links Le Havre to Honfleur.

This song did not chart as a single
(ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
(ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
One night along the river at St. Germaine de Pre
I first met my beloved at a small sidewalk cafe
We walked along the river, shadows passing by
But we only saw each other, the shining water, and the sky
The Seine, the Seine, when will I again
Meet her there, greet her there
On the moonlit banks of the Seine?
Standing there across the river 'mid sound of horn and tram
In all her quiet beauty, the Cathedral Notre Dame
And as we passed beside her I said a little prayer
That when this dream was over I'd awake and find you there
The Seine, the Seine, when will I again
Meet her there, greet her there
On the moonlit banks of the Seine?
We walked along the river till dawn was coming nigh
Beneath the Eiffel Tower we said our last goodbye
There on that splendid morning I saw you all in tears
And the beauty of that hour will shine within me through the years
The Seine, the Seine, when will I again
Meet her there, greet her there
On the moonlit banks of the Seine?
The Seine, the Seine, when will I again
Meet her there on the Seine?
