Provence



Provence is a region of south eastern France on the Mediterranean adjacent to Italy. It is part of the administrative region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. The traditional region of Provence comprises the départements of Var, Vaucluse, Bouches-du-Rhône, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Alpes-Maritimes and parts of Haues-Alpes. The important places in this region are shown on the card. The Romans made the region into the first Roman province beyond the Alps, their Provincia Romana, the origin of its present name.
Christiane who lives in this region sent me this card.
