Siene
Length: Approximately 485 miles / 780 kilometers Source: Source-Seine in northeastern Burgundy, France Mouth: The Seine Estuary between Le Havre and Honfleur at the English Channel Oldest Trade Routes The Celts – or Iron Age peoples – used the Seine River to transport tin from Brittany and Cornwall to present-day Europe. Ancient Romans greatly increased trade along the waterway. Eventually, the Vikings sailed south on the Seine and made the section of the Seine north of Paris an integral part of their trade routes – a network connecting Northern Europe and the British Isles.
