Answer 6

Provence is a part of France

It's not administratively a region, but we could say it's the south part of the southeastern France.

Provence is bound by the Alps and Italy to the east and the Rhône River to the west, with the Mediterranean Sea providing its southern border.

it's a very nice region with mediterranean climate.

Along all the mediterranean seaside you will find beaches, creeks and calas (=calanque in French, I'm not sure for the translation)

The hinterland is as lovely as the seaside, you can visit many small old towns that are among ones of the more beautiful in France, with colorful stones.

You will also in the countryside smell odor of some blue lavender fields, see oliver grove (olive wood), hear cicadas and cricket calls, when night is falling.

Maybe you will have to learn how to play pétanque (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%A9tanq... , or belote (a game card : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belote) while you are sipping a pastis on a bistro terrasse.
