La Durance (English spelling)

Japanese: デュランス[川](英語表記)La Durance
La Durance (English spelling)
A river in southeastern France. It is the largest tributary of the Rhône, with a total length of about 304 km. It originates in the Pérebou mountain range in the southern French Alps, flows south between the Cotienne Alps on the French-Italian border, and then enters the hills of Provence near Sisteron in the middle reaches. Downstream from its confluence with the Verdon, famous for its gorge, it flows almost westward and empties into the Rhône near Avignon. In the lower reaches, where the climate is Mediterranean with dry summers, most of the water is diverted south by irrigation canals and flows into Lake Verdon on the Mediterranean coast.
