The Oise (/wɑːz/ WAHZ; French: [waz] (listen)) is a river of Belgium and France, flowing for 341 km (212 mi)[1] from its source in the Belgian province of Hainaut, south of Chimay. It crosses the border with France after about 20 km (12 mi). It flows into the Seine at Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, a north-western suburb of Paris. Its main tributary is the Aisne. It gave its name to the French departments of Oise and Val-d'Oise.

Places along the river

In France, the Oise flows through the following départements and towns:

• Aisne: Hirson, Guise, Chauny
• Oise (named after the river): Noyon, Compiègne, Creil
• Val-d'Oise (named after the river): Auvers-sur-Oise, Pontoise, Cergy, Jouy-le-Moutier
• Yvelines: Conflans-Sainte-Honorine

Navigation

Over the past few centuries, the Oise has played an important role as an inland shipping waterway connecting the Seine (and thus Paris) with the coastal regions of northern France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. With the projected construction of the Seine-Nord Europe Canal, a high-capacity water transport system currently in development, the Oise will be linked at Janville, north of Compiègne, with the high-capacity Canal Dunkerque-Escaut, east of Arleux. The Seine-Nord Europe Canal will replace the old Canal de Saint-Quentin and the current Canal du Nord, the capacity of which is far below standard. When the new Seine-Nord connection is complete, it will allow large vessels to transport goods from the Seine, and thus Paris and its surrounding area, to the ports of Dunkirk, Antwerp and Rotterdam.

Part of the overall project consists in upgrading the river Oise itself between Creil and Compiègne, a project called MAGEO (Mise au gabarit européen de l'Oise) that was put out to public consultation in 2013. Some bends need to be eased and bridges raised to meet the requirements of a class Vb inland waterway.[2]

El río Oise es un río franco-belga, afluente del río Sena, con una longitud total de 302 km, que nace en la provincia belga de Henao, al sur de la ciudad de Chimay, en el macizo boscoso de la Fagne, a una altitud de 309 m sobre el nivel del mar. Aproximadamente a los 20 km de iniciar su recorrido, el Oise se dirige hacia el sur para cruzar la frontera con Francia, siguiendo su curso en dirección hacia el sur y el suroeste por territorio francés hasta desembocar en el Sena a la altura de Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, en las cercanías de París, que queda aguas arriba del río Sena.
