La Seine est une rivière qui prend sa source dans le Département de la Côte d’Or, et va se perdre dans la Manche. Elle traverse Paris : les habitans de cette Cité, se dérobant aux feux de l’été viennent chercher la fraîcheur et la pureté de ses eaux. (The Source of the Seine is the Cote d'Or, and It Empties into the Channel. On Its Way It Traverses Paris Where the Inhabitants Escape the Summer's Heat and Try to Find Freshness and Purity in This River.) from the series Les Baigneurs
