| | What is Provence |
 | | P.A.C.A. stands for the administrative region of "Provence Alpes Côte d'Azur," consisting of six departments: Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Hautes-Alpes, Alpes-Maritimes, Var, Bouche-du-Rhône, and Vaucluse (see map). |
| | This is a vast region, of contrasts and connections, of snow-topped mountains and mondaine sea resorts, of shepherds and yacht captains, of cork oak and palm trees, of a simple beef stew and an elaborate bouillabaisse. |
| | Finally, the word P.A.C.A. sprang out as a lead to what could be considered Provence. |
