The Scarpe is about a hundred kilometers long, of which two thirds has been turned into canals.
The source of the river is at Berles-Monchel near Aubigny-en-Artois. It flows through the cities Arras, Douai and Saint-Amand-les-Eaux. The river ends at Mortagne-du-Nord where it flows into the Scheldt.
The river and its valley was an important battleground in the First World War.
