Rhone
Lyon's flowing thoroughfare
Rhone is a major European river flowing from the Swiss Alps through southeastern France to the Mediterranean.
The Rhône Valley is one of France's premier wine regions, producing reds, whites, and rosés: a bottle of Côtes du Rhône.
The name appears in wine terminology more often than geographic contexts.
