Provence, located in southeastern France, is a blue coast bordering the Mediterranean and the birthplace of lavender. The region produces fine wines.
Provence is a "city of knights" and the birthplace of medieval knightly lyric poetry; famous towns include Marseille and Aix.
Provence borders Italy and is a hilly area extending from the Mediterranean coast inland. The great Rhone River flows through it. The Rhone, flowing south from the Alps through Lyon, splits into two major branches near Provence and then empties into the Mediterranean.


Morocco has a varied climate. The north has a Mediterranean climate, hot and dry in summer, mild and humid in winter, with an average January temperature of 12°C and 22-24°C in July. Rainfall is 300-800 mm. The central region has a subtropical mountain climate, mild and humid, with temperatures varying by altitude; the average annual temperature in the foothills is about 20°C. Rainfall ranges from 300 to 1400 mm. The east and south have a tropical desert climate, with an average annual temperature of about 20°C. Annual rainfall is below 250 mm, and less than 100 mm in the south. In summer there is often a dry, hot "sirocco wind." Because the Atlas Mountains, which run diagonally across the country, block the invasion of heat waves from the Sahara Desert to the south, Morocco has a pleasant climate year-round with flourishing flowers and trees, earning it the reputation of "a cool land under the blazing sun."
