 The river at Régina |
||
The Approuague is a river in France that runs in the overseas department of French Guiana in the French Guiana region of the same name . It rises in the Emerillon Massif , in the municipality of Régina , drains generally in a north-easterly direction and flows into the Atlantic Ocean after 335 kilometers at Pointe Béhague , still in the municipality of Régina . The river is already exposed to the tides above the town of Régina and thus forms an estuary about 50 kilometers long . In this area it also crosses the Guyana Regional Nature Park (Cayenne sector).
