The Seudre is a river located in southwestern France. It flows through the Charente-Maritime area, which is a département (like a county or region) in France. The river eventually empties into the Atlantic Ocean. It is about 68.2 km (42.4 mi) long.
What is the Seudre River?
The Seudre River is an important natural feature in its region. It starts near a place called Saint-Genis-de-Saintonge. From there, it flows generally towards the northwest.
Where Does the Seudre Flow?
As the Seudre travels, it passes through several towns. These include Saint-André-de-Lidon, Saujon, and La Tremblade. Its journey ends when it reaches the Atlantic Ocean. This happens near the town of Marennes.
Life in the Seudre River
The lower part of the Seudre River has brackish water. This means the water is a mix of fresh water and salty ocean water. It's not as salty as the ocean, but saltier than a typical river. This special type of water is perfect for oyster farming. Many people in the area raise oysters in the river.
