The Loing (lwɛ̃) is a 143 km (89 mi) long river in central France, a left tributary of the Seine.[1]
Its source is in Sainte-Colombe-sur-Loing, in the southwest of the department of Yonne, and it flows into the Seine in Saint-Mammès, near Moret-sur-Loing. Its main tributaries are the Ouanne, the Aveyron, the Puiseaux, the Solin, the Lunain and the Orvanne. The part of the Briare Canal between Rogny-les-Sept-Écluses and Montargis runs parallel to the Loing.
