 The river in Vic-sur-Seille |

The Seille is a right tributary of the Moselle in the French region of Grand Est .
Surname
The Seille is also called the Lorraine Seille or the Große Seille to distinguish it from the Seille , which flows into the Saône in the Burgundy region . The river was officially called Seille during German rule (1871 to 1918) until the name was changed to Selle in 1916 . The name Selz , occasionally given as a German name, is a misunderstanding that stems from the renaming of Coin-sur-Seille to Selzeck in 1915 .
geography
course
The source stream of the Seille, the Ruisseau de Guessing , rises in the Lorraine Regional Nature Park , in the municipality of Maizières-lès-Vic , changes its name several times in the source area and finally flows into the Linderweiher (French: Étang de Lindre ), which it joins Lindre-Basse leaves Seille again under his final name . The river generally drains in a north-westerly direction with strong river loops in places and flows into the Moselle after 138 kilometers in the urban area of Metz . On its way, the Seille crosses the Moselle and Meurthe-et-Moselle departments and forms the border between the two departments over a long stretch of the middle course.
