ソース・セーヌのおすすめランニングルート

A bucolic, clean, well-maintained, and shaded spot, with tables and trash cans for picnicking. It's officially a Paris commune, but it looks nothing like Paris.

There's a signposted and very beautiful circular trail that includes the source of the Seine. Learn more on the official website here: https://www.cotedor-randonnee.com/

Wikipedia reports: "The source of the Seine is located on the Langres plateau, 25 km northwest of Dijon in the Côte-d'Or department in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region, 470 m above sea level. A special feature is that the sources of the Seine were the property of the city of Paris from 1864 onwards. An artificial grotto was built a year later to protect the main source and a statue of a nymph was erected to symbolize the river. Paris has since returned the property to the region. Near the source are the remains of a Gallo-Roman temple in which a Dea Sequana (Latin goddess of the Seine) was worshipped. The archaeological finds from this temple are now in the archaeological department of the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Dijon."

The church was founded in the 6th century but the abbey church was not built until later, between the 13th and 15th centuries. In Burgundian Gothic style, the portal is decorated with plant decoration made up of branches of vines. Once inside, you will be able to see wall paintings from the beginning of the 16th century representing the legend of Saint Seine in 22 paintings, the Tree of Jesse, Saint Christopher and the litanies of the Virgin.

Very nice discovery. Warm welcome at the tourist office.

The Seine is a river 777 km long and flows into the English Channel.

Here we find a clearing with a cave and a sculpture around the source of the Seine. The large lawn near the grotto is ideal for playing Frisbee or having a picnic. Wooden tables are also available.
