| Provence
is a region of southeastern France on the Mediterranean adjacent to Italy.
It is part of the administrative région of Provence-Alpes-Côte
d'Azur. The traditional region of Provence comprises the départements
of Var, Vaucluse, and Bouches-du-Rhône and parts of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence
and Alpes-Maritimes. The Romans, who conquered it in the 2nd Century B.C.,
named it Provincia Nostra ("our province") or simply Provincia ("the province"),
and the name in French thus became Provence.
Most of Provence has a Mediterranean
climate, characterized by hot, dry summers, mild winters, little snow,
and abundant sunshine. Within Provence there are micro-climates and local
variations, ranging from the Alpine climate inland from Nice to the continental
climate in the northern Vaucluse. The winds of Provence are an important
feature of the climate, particularly the mistral, a cold, dry wind which,
especially in the winter, blows down the Rhone Valley to the Bouches-du-Rhône
and the Var Departments, and often reaches over one hundred kilometres
an hour. |
