P419 - France- Beautiful stone shed in Provence


Beautiful stone shed in a lavender and flower field, Provence, France




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., called it Provincia Nostra ("our province") or simply Provincia ("the province"), and the name in French thus became Provence.


普羅旺斯(Provence)是古羅馬的一個行省,現為法國東南部的一個地區,毗鄰地中海,和義大利接壤。從阿爾卑斯山經里昂南流的隆河(Rhone),在普羅旺斯附近分為兩大支流,然後注入地中海。
歷史上的普羅旺斯地域範圍變化很大,古羅馬時期普羅旺斯行省北至阿爾卑斯山,南抵庇里牛斯山脈,包括整個法國南部。18世紀末法國大革命時,普羅旺斯成為5個行政省份之一。到了1960年代,法國被重新劃分為22個大區,普羅旺斯屬於普羅旺斯-阿爾卑斯-藍色海岸大區。
普羅旺斯境內有艾克斯(Aix-en-Provence)、馬賽等名城,並出產優質葡萄酒。此地區物產豐饒、陽光明媚、風景優美,從古希臘、古羅馬時代起就吸引著無數遊人,至今依然是旅遊勝地。普羅旺斯的薰衣草花田更是難得的美景。
