The
Loire River
is the longest
river
in
France
, 630 miles (1,010 km) long. It rises in the
Cévennes Mountains
in the southeast and flows in an arc northwest through
Orléans
and then southwest to the port cities of
Nantes
and
Saint-Nazaire
where it empties into the
Bay of Biscay
. Altogether the Loire drains an area of about 44,000 square miles (70,600 square km) - approximately one-fifth of
France
. Once prone to flooding, the Loire is now managed with a system of
dikes
. A network of canals connects the river to the
Saone
, the
Rhone
and the
Seine
Rivers. The Loire river valley, with its medieval
châteaus
and ancient vinyards, is rich in history and is often thought of by the French as the cradle of French civilization.
