Note: The Rhône is a prominent river in France and Switzerland, rising in the Alps and flowing west and south through Lake Geneva and southeastern France before discharging into the Mediterranean Sea. At Arles, near its mouth, the river divides into the Great Rhône and the Little Rhône. The resulting delta forms the Camargue region. The river's source is the Rhône Glacier, at the east edge of the Swiss canton of Valais. The glacier is part of the Saint-Gotthard Massif, which gives rise to three other major rivers: the Reuss, Rhine, and Ticino. The Rhône is, with the Po and Nile, one of the three Mediterranean rivers with the highest water discharge. Before railroads and highways were developed, the Rhône was an important inland trade and transportation route, connecting the cities of Arles, Avignon, Valence, Vienne, and Lyon to the Mediterranean ports of Fos-sur-Mer, Marseille, and Sète. Traveling down the Rhône by barge would take three weeks. By motorized vessel, the trip now takes only three days. (Credit: Wikipedia).
