A river in northern France. It is 245 km long. It originates in the low hills near Saint-Quentin in the eastern part of Picardy, flows west-northwest, passes through Amiens and empties into the English Channel at the Bay of the Somme. It meanders between plateaus made of chalk limestone (white chalk), and the surrounding area is known as a major producer of wheat, barley, sugar beets, and other crops. With little change in annual flow rate and a gentle gradient, it is connected by many canals and is France's largest inland waterway.

フランス北部の川。全長245km。ピカルディー地方東部サン・カンタン近郊の低い丘陵に源を発し,西北西へ流れ,アミアンを経てソンム湾でイギリス海峡に注ぐ。チョーク石灰岩(白亜)からなる台地の間を曲流し,周囲は小麦,大麦,テンサイ糖などの大産地として知られる。年間の流量変化が小さくて勾配がゆるやかなことから,多くの運河で結ばれフランス第1の内陸水路となっている。【小野 有五】
