Arques (river)
The 883rd longest river in the world
The river Arques (French pronunciation: [aʁk]) is a watercourse located in the Seine-Maritime département of the Normandy region of north-western France. Only 6 kilometres in length, the river is formed by the confluence of three rivers at Arques-la-Bataille: the Eaulne, the Béthune and the Varenne which drain the pays de Caux and the pays de Bray. The Béthune is also considered the upper part of the Arques, which is then 67 km (42 mi) long. The last part of its course takes it past the industrial zone of Rouxmesnil-Bouteilles and it then forms the waters of the port of Dieppe.
Flows through: France.
