Everything about Bi Vre River totally explained
The
Bièvre is a 25.4 km long
river of the
Île-de-France région that flows into the
Seine (left bank) in
Paris. The name translates to "Beaver River" in English.
The current course is said to have been modified from its natural course to supply irrigation for an abbey located outside the city wall of Phillipe-Auguste. This diversion is reflected in maps of Paris dating from the 13th century. Historically the river was heavily industrialized with mills, and supported numerous tanneries and dye-makers. This led to serious pollution concerns that persist up to the present time. The river is nowadays buried in tunnels for its whole course within Paris; as of
2004, the city of Paris is considering uncovering some sections of the Bièvre.
The source of the Bièvre is in
Guyancourt,
département Yvelines. From there, it flows through the following
départements and towns:
The river enters the present day city of Paris near
Stade Charléty (close to the border between the
XIIIe and
XIVe arrondissements), and reaches the Seine River in the
Latin Quarter (
Ve arrondissement) close to
Île de la Cité.
