"sur Seine" takes place along France's second-longest river, The Seine. Flowing northwesterly from a spring in Dijon on into the English Channel, the river passes through a thousand communities– towns abandoned due to export of the industrial revolution and some that exist almost solely to feed and support the energy hungry population of Paris. There are over 35 towns southeast of Paris alone en route from Paris to Dijon with the suffix "sur-Seine" and any number moving north to the English channel. Many of these medieval towns resemble each other blurring together to become one. Explored by French impressionists, the river and its surrounds remain unremarkable unless you use your imagination.
