Description:
The Seine River flows through Paris, the capital city of France. This view of the Seine was from the Eiffel Tower. From this vantage point, it was possible to see the many bridges spanning the river, as well as the visual effect of the city's building height limit of approximately six stories throughout the city center. The design contributes to the impression of the cityscape as low, convenient, and the streets unencumbered by shadows, hence its reputation as the 'City of Light'.The Seine River is approximately 485 miles long, and with its tributaries, drains an area of about 30,400 square miles. It carries most of France's inland traffic. It is the country's second-longest river after the Loire. Paris is an important tourist destination, and therefore, it is important for all travelers to be aware of the potential health hazards of travel to all destinations, foreign or domestic.
