The 883rd longest river in the world

km

The Essonne (French pronunciation: [ɛsɔn]) is a 101-kilometre (63 mi) long French river. It is a left tributary of the Seine. Its course crosses the departments of Loiret and Essonne, and it gives its name to the latter. The Essone's name and the present name of its higher course (the Œuf) originate in Acionna, a Gallo-Roman river goddess attested at Orléans (Genabum).

Flows through: France.
