Rio Ródano

Also known as Rhone, Rhône River, Rhone River

The Rhône ( , ; Occitan: Ròse; Arpitan: Rôno) is a major 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 (Gulf of Lion). At Arles, near its mouth, the river divides into the Great Rhône (; ) and the Little Rhône (; ). The resulting delta forms the Camargue region.

AI overview

The Rhône is a major river that starts in the Alps and flows through France and Switzerland, passing through Lake Geneva and southeastern France before emptying into the Mediterranean Sea. It matters because it is a significant geographic and ecological feature of the region, and near its mouth it creates the Camargue delta, a distinctive area formed where the river divides into two branches.

O Ródano (em francês: Rhône) é um rio que nasce na Suíça e termina em França. Por desaguar no Mediterrâneo, é de extrema importância histórica desde a Antiguidade. Foi rota do comércio e meio de propagação de cultura e costumes para vários povos mediterrânicos e europeus. No século XX foi objecto de obras para melhorias na navegação e fornecimento de eletricidade. O rio percorre 290 km na Suíça, e entre 522 km, (Encyclopédie Larousse), ou 545 km (SANDRE) em território francês. Define em cerca de 3 km parte da fronteira França-Suíça, a oeste de Genebra.
