The mistral is a strong, cold wind that blows through out of the northwest through southeastern France. No one is in sight, and the barely see any windows, suggesting that the Provencal locals are prepared for the harsh weather and are cooped up inside. An inscription tells us that this scene is near Malaucène, a village about 70 miles north of Marseille.
