The seven springs of the Seine are a place full of mystery, with many remains and relics from centuries gone by.

The springs of the Seine have been revered since Gallo-Roman times. In all, over 1,500 objects have been discovered at this archaeological site: vases containing Roman coins, steles, bronze works and statues. These artifacts, which did not arrive here by chance, are the last remains of a large Gallo-Roman sanctuary dedicated to the goddess Sequana, the nymph of the river's springs. Over the centuries, these springs have continued to be venerated, and people have come from far and wide to quench their thirst and take advantage of their healing properties. Perched at an altitude of 446 m, these nascent waters now benefit from a landscaped setting, frequented in season and pristine and serene from autumn onwards. The atmosphere here almost makes you believe in the properties of spring water. In fact, there are seven of them! The three in the Gallo-Roman sanctuary are the ones with the greatest flow. If you'd like to learn more about the history of this place and admire the objects that have been discovered by archaeologists, head to Dijon's archaeological museum, where you can also see the fascinating Celtic and Gallo-Roman ex-votos. Did you know? The City of Paris has owned the Seine springs since 1864. The city has created a monument and a landscaped park, and is still responsible for the upkeep of the site. The first bridge spanning the Seine is also located near the springs.
