It largely corresponds with the modern administrative region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur and includes the departments of Var, Bouches-du-Rhône, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, as well as parts of Alpes-Maritimes and Vaucluse. The largest city of the region and its modern-day capital is Marseille.
"He play’d an ancient ditty, long since mute,
In Provence call’d, ‘La belle dame sans mercy’.
"Ab l'alen tir vas me l'aire
Qu'ieu sen venir de Proensa;
Tot quant es de lai m'agensa,
Si que, quan n'aug ben retraire,
Ieu m'o escout en rizen
E'n deman per un mot cen,
Tan m'es bel quan n'aug ben dire.
"Soft speech Provençal under the olives!
Like a queen’s raiment from days long perish’d,
Breathing aromas of old unremember’d
Perfumes and shining in dust-cover’d places
With sudden hints of forgotten splendour—
So on the lips of the peasant his language,
His only now, the tongue of the peasant.
