The Serein (French pronunciation: [səʁɛ̃] ) is a river of eastern France. It is the main waterway of the Chablis wine district in Burgundy. It is 188 km (117 mi) long. The Serein is not navigable.




Origin of the name


Serein is the French word for "serene". This may reflect the placid nature of its course, or the strong monastic tradition in the area.




Geography


The Serein rises in the Auxois hills at Arconcey and flows north-north-west into the Yonne at Bassou. Both the A6 Autoroute du Soleil and the Paris-Lyon railway line follow a similar route through the area.
