What is Rhône?
{{no sources|date=October 2019}} [[File:Rhone River SPOT 1296.jpg|thumb|300px|The [[river delta|delta]] of the Rhône flowing into the [[Mediterranean]]]] [[File:Rhone drainage basin.png|thumb|300px|Map of the Rhône]] The '''Rhône''' is a [[river]] in [[France]] and [[Switzerland]]. It is 812 kilometers long. The [[river]] starts in [[Rhône Glacier]], which is in [[Switzerland]]. Then, the '''Rhône''' River joints the [[Saône]], in [[France]] (and other rivers) and ends in the [[Mediterranean Sea]]. The River Rhône empties into the Mediterranean. Only the [[Nile]] brings more water into the Mediterranean. The river drains an area of 95.5500 m<sup>2</sup>. The usual amount of water is about 1.700 m<sup>3</sup> per second (at [[Tarrascon]]). During [[flood]]s, this value has reached over 12.000 m<sup>3</sup> per second. This river splits into two smaller rivers before it flows into the Mediterranean Sea. The space between those rivers is named the [[Camargue]], and many types of animals live there.<ref name=NatGeo>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.nationalgeographic.com/travel/article/road-trip-through-wild-camargue-delta-arles-provence|publisher=National Geographic|author=Kimberly Lomato|accessdate=January 2, 2022|date=March 28, 2019|title=Take a road trip through this wild, beautiful French delta}}</ref> <gallery> File:Leman img 0573.jpg|The Rhône flowing into [[Lake Geneva]] File:Starry Night Over the Rhone.jpg|''Starry night over the Rhône'' by [[Vincent van Gogh]] </gallery> ==References== {{reflist}} {{Authority control}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Rhone}} [[Category:Rivers of Switzerland]] [[Category:Rivers of Occitanie]] [[Category:Rivers of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur]] [[Category:Rivers of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes]] {{multistub|Switzerland|France-geo}}
