The Aero Club du Rhône et du Sud-Est published L'Aero-Revue, a monthly bulletin and illustrated review of aerial navigation, from January 1907-1943. From 1950 to 1956, it published Air et Eau, a quarterly review, which reappeared in October 1956 as Aero-Revue, a quarterly newsletter.

Some 300 members in 1910. Officers in 1910 included Antonin Boulade, president; J. Berger, E. Rochet, Gillet, and E. Vermorel, vice presidents; Gossart, general secretary; and R. Janand, treasurer.

Note that 1:5 Aeronautics (US) 44 and 1:6 Aeronautics (NYC) 37 (both 1907) list Rhône and Sud-Est as separate clubs. However, while Aeronautics lists Rhône in Lyon, it puts Sud-Est in Bordeaux. We know from other sources that the club in Bordeaux was Sud-Ouest; thus Aeronautic's listing of Sud-Est as a separate club in 1907 appears questionable. Given that L'Aero-Revue began publication in January 1907, if the clubs were ever separate, it would have to have been before 1907. Thus, it seems that the Aero Club du Rhône et du Sud-Est was formed under that name and was not formed from a merger of two clubs. However, note that 1909 and 1910-1911 Jane's list only as Aero Club du Rhône.

Affiliated with AeCF in 1908 or earlier.
