The Eure is a river in northern France, left tributary of the Seine. It rises at Marchainville in the Orne département and joins the Seine near Pont-de-l'Arche. Two départements are named after the Eure, namely Eure and Eure-et-Loir.
The most important towns along the Eure, going downstream, are Courville-sur-Eure, Chartres, Maintenon, Anet, Pacy-sur-Eure and Louviers. Its main tributaries are the Avre and the Iton.
