The Juine is a French river, 53 kilometres (33 mi) long. It is a left tributary of the river Essonne.

Its source is in Loiret, in the forest of Chambaudoin, less than 3 km south-west from Autruy-sur-Juine. Its name originates in the hamlet of Juines which she runs alongside before re-entering the Essonne department, in which it runs through several communes: Méréville, Saint-Cyr-la-Rivière, Ormoy-la-Rivière, Étampes, Étréchy, Chamarande, Janville-sur-Juine, Bouray-sur-Juine, Lardy.

It also runs through the parks of several châteaux (Saint-Vrain, Chamarande, and Mesnil-Voisin) and once served several now-abandoned mills. From the 15th to the 18th century, it combined with the Essonne and Seine rivers to form a navigable waterway for flat-bottomed boats carrying wheat from Beauce towards Paris. It joins the river Essonne between Itteville and Vert-le-Petit, near Ballancourt-sur-Essonne.

gollark: I probably could if I were to gather data, which I have not done.

gollark: It's probably using virtual filesystem tricks like potatOS.

gollark: Oh no. This could have substantial effects on my IndexedDB-based website achievement system.

gollark: I doubt anyone actually uses native C# types for this so who knows really.

gollark: It doesn't really need high precision, but does need many, many numbers in as little memory as possible.
