User:BaduFerreira/France–Suriname border

The border between France and Suriname is the line that limits the territories of French Guiana and Suriname. It is 510 km long, in the west of French Guiana and the east of Suriname.

Features
It begins north of the mouth of the Maroni River at the level of the Atlantic Ocean (5° 44.3′ N, 53° 58.1′ W). It ascends the course of the river in a southerly direction, and then that of the Lawa River until it flows into the Tapanahoni River (4° 22.1′ N, 54° 25′ O).

At the level of the confluence between the Itany River and the Marouini River that produces the Lawa ( 03°17.6′N 54°05.2′W / 3.2933°N 54.0867°W), the boundary layout has been the subject of disagreement between France and Suriname, with the former estimating that the boundary runs up the course of the Itany, and the latter arguing that it runs up the course of the Marouini.

It ends south of the triple border Brazil - France - Suriname (2° 18.3′ N, 54° 31.5′ W} according to the French position) from where the Brazil-Suriname border and the Brazil-France border depart.
