Juine
Encyclopedia
The Juine is a 53-kilometre-long French river. It is a tributary off the left bank of the Essonne River
.
Its source is in Loiret
, in the forest of Chambaudoin, less than 3 km south-west from 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
, and 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 carrying wheat from Beauce
towards Paris
. It joins the river Essonne between Itteville
and Vert-le-Petit
, near Ballancourt-sur-Essonne
.
