Provence is a region in the south-eastern Mediterranean France described as ‘a hilly oblong bounded on the south by the Riviera coast,’ (Hugh Johnson & Hubrecht Duijker: 1987, p.19). See also Provence–Alpes–Côte d’Azur. Provence borders Italy and the Mediterranean Sea, and is known for its diverse landscapes, from the Southern Alps and Camargue plains to rolling vineyards, olive groves, pine forests and lavender fields. To the south is the Côte d’Azur (or French Riviera), where is found the city of Nice and the resort towns of Saint-Tropez and Cannes on the coast.
