Rhône (Latin Rhodanus, French Rhône, Italian Rodano, Spanish Ródano) is one of the major rivers (ca. 800 km long) of Europe, running through Switzerland and France. It rises near the Rhône glacier in Valais, Switzerland. It flows west through Lake Geneva (Lac Leman) before entering France. There it is joined by the Saône river at Lyon, before going south. At Arles, the Rhône starts, with all branches flowing into the Mediterranean Sea.
