The Sienne is a river in France that runs in the Normandy region . It rises in the municipality of Saint-Sever-Calvados and shortly thereafter forms the Lac du Gast reservoir . It generally drains north-west and flows into the English Channel after 93 kilometers below Regnéville-sur-Mer , at Pointe d'Agon . About 8 kilometers in length, it forms the Havre de Regnéville estuary , which extends up to the town of Le Pont de la Roque . The Sienne crosses the Calvados and Manche departments on its way .
