Provence #Patrimoine,
In Provence, the mistral wind blows in the Rhône corridor, very cold in winter and often violent. Dry and accompanied by the sun, it has an important impact on the Provençal climate. It blows from north to south between 30 and 100 km / hour, 130 days / year.
The dry and cold wind goes down the Massif Central or the Alps along the valley, it blows all year round but especially in winter and spring.
It is reputed to cleanse the sky, making clear the air and brings a welcome coolness in summer.
