Avignon France Tourist Information and Vacation Guide
The Rhone River is one of the two most important rivers in Europe.
It flows from Lake Geneva in Switzerland west to Lyon and then south
through Avignon France to the Mediterranean Sea. Being the only large
river to flow into the Mediterranean Sea, it had enormous
economic, military and social significance.
Among the many bridges that crossed the Rhone River was the
world-famous Avignon Bridge (Pont d’Avignon).
Many visitors to France like to take River Cruises along the Rhone
River, some of which depart from Avignon.
A free shuttle boat called the Navette Fluviale transports passengers
across the Rhone river during the summer months. Its departs from
a boat pier located near the Avignon Bridge.
