Ornain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ornain is a 120 km long river in northeastern France, right tributary of the Saulx (Seine basin). It is formed near the village Gondrecourt-le-Château by the confluence of the small rivers Ognon and Maldite. Its course crosses the following départements and towns:
- Meuse: Ligny-en-Barrois, Bar-le-Duc, Revigny-sur-Ornain
- Marne
The Ornain flows into the Saulx in Pargny-sur-Saulx. The part of the Marne-Rhine Canal between Demange-aux-Eaux and Sermaize-les-Bains runs parallel to the Ornain.
