Rhone Zip code

The Rhone is a major river in France and Switzerland. It starts in the Alps and flows through Lake Geneva and southeastern France before ending up in the Mediterranean Sea. There is a river called the Great Rhone (French: le Grand Rhone) that comes out of the city of Arles. The river is called the Little Rhone (French: le Petit Rhone). The Camargue region is the result of the delta that formed. At the east edge of the Swiss canton of Valais, there is a glacier called the Rhone Glacier. The river comes from this glacier. The glacier is part of the Saint-Gotthard Massif, which gives rise to three major rivers: the Reuss, the Rhine, and the Ticino. These three rivers flow through the glacier. The Rhone is twice as big as the longest river in France, the Loire. The name Rhone is based on the Latin name Rhodanus, which was used in Greco-Roman geography. People in the Gaulish language called the river *Rodonos or *Rotonos, which means "to run, roll." This word comes from a PIE root that means "to run, roll." The Greco-Roman and the reconstructed Gaulish names are both male, as is the French word for the Rhone, which is also a name. This form is still used by the Spanish/Portuguese and Italian namesakes, el/o Rodano and il Rodano. The Rhone in German is the same name as the Rhone in French, but it's female. The original German name for the Latin word was also a man's name, der Rotten. It only lives on in the Upper Valais (dialectal Rottu). Rhodanien is the French word for river, and it means "furrow of the Rhone." This is the name of the long, straight Saone and Rhone river valleys, which run from the Alps to the Mediterranean.
