Juine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Juine is a 55 km long French river. It is a tributary off the left bank of the River Essonne.
Its source is in Loiret, in the bois de Chambaudoin, near Autruy-sur-Juine. Its name originates in the hamlet of Juines which she runs alongside before re-entering the Essonne department, in which it runs through several communes : Méréville, Saint-Cyr-la-Rivière, Ormoy-la-Rivière, Étampes, Étréchy, Chamarande, Janville-sur-Juine, Bouray-sur-Juine, Lardy.
It also runs through the parks of several châteaux (Saint-Vrain, Chamarande, Mesnil-Voisin...) and once served several now-abandoned mills. From the 15th to the 18th century, it combined with the Essonne and Seine rivers to form a navigable waterway for flat-bottomed boats carring wheat from Beauce towards Paris. It rejoins the river Essonne at Ballancourt-sur-Essonne, après avoir traversé les parcs de nombreux alimenté de nombreux moulins aujourd'hui abandonnés.
