The source of the Seine River is located in Source-Seine, Burgundy on the Plateau of Langres in the department of Côtes d’Or. The park area is nicely kept and ideal for picnics and strolls.
This man-made grotto, built in 1865 above the Seine source, houses a statue of the nymph Sequana.

I did a bit of water-tasting.
We also passed through this little town, Billy-lès-Chanceaux, where we saw a somewhat bigger version of the Seine.

Unfortunately, I do not have a photo of the full width of the Seine River. This one will have to do.
In Paris, the river’s width varies from 30m to 200m.
This photo is from 2014, and the padlocks are gone by now, removed by the city in June 2015.
