Department of France whose capital is Lyons (5)

I believe the answer is:

rhone

(Other definitions for rhone that I've seen before include "Camargue river" , "Major French river, rising in Switzerland" , "Fr. river and wine" , "River at Lyons" , "12 wine region" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
