Mouth of the Rhone. Reaching Lyon, the most populous city on its course, the Rhône receives its biggest tributary, the Saône, with an average flow of 473 m 3 /s (16,700 cu ft/s), compared to the Rhône's 600 m 3 /s (21,000 cu ft/s) at this point. [8] From this confluence, the Rhône follows a southward course.
It is an effluent of Lake Annecy and an affluent of the Fier, which is in turn a tributary of the Rhône. The Thiou is considered one of the cleanest rivers in Europe [citation needed] and a postcard of the city of Annecy. The Thiou crosses the city forming small canals without which the city would not be often called the Venice of the Alps.
The Janon is a tributary of the Gier, which in turn is a tributary of the Rhône.It is 13.9 kilometres (8.6 mi) long. [1] The Janon from Terrenoire to Saint-Chamond, and then the Gier from Saint-Chamond to Givors, create a valley in the coal basin between the Pilat massif to the south and the Riverie chain of the Monts du Lyonnais to the north. [2]
Its largest tributary is the Doubs; upstream of receiving the Doubs at Verdun-sur-le-Doubs in Saône-et-Loire, the Saône is called the "Petite Saône" (lesser Saône), which reflects the large contribution of the Doubs to the Saône. In fact the Doubs's mean annual flow rate is slightly stronger than that of the Petite Saône, 175 cubic metres ...
The largest tributary relative to the Moselle at its confluence is the Moselotte, which is about 40% greater by volumetric flow and thus represents the main branch of the Moselle system. At its mouth, the Moselle delivers 328 m 3 /s (11,600 cu ft/s) of water into the Rhine after flowing for 544 km (338 mi).

The Ardière is 30.0 kilometres (18.6 mi) in length. [1]The source of the Ardière is to the south-east of Mont Monet (1,001 metres (3,284 ft)) and just below Mont Saint-Rigaud (1,009 metres (3,310 ft)), at an altitude of 870 metres (2,850 ft), within the commune of Les Ardillats.
