Vaucluse Department of France

The Vaucluse is a department of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur in the southeast of France, named after the famous spring the Fontaine de Vaucluse. The name Vaucluse derives from the Latin Vallis Clausa as the valley here ends in a cliff face from which emanates a spring whose origin is so far in and so deep that it remains to be defined.

In the administrative divisions of France, the department is one of the three levels of government below the national level, between the administrative regions and the commune. Ninety-six departments are in metropolitan France, and five are overseas departments, which are also classified as regions. Departments are further subdivided into 334 arrondissements, themselves divided into cantons; the last two have no autonomy, and are used for the organisation of police, fire departments, and sometimes, elections.

It consists of the following communes: [1]

  1. Caderousse
  2. Orange
  3. Piolenc

Geographic coordinate system Coordinate system

A geographic coordinate system is a coordinate system that enables every location on Earth to be specified by a set of numbers, letters or symbols. The coordinates are often chosen such that one of the numbers represents a vertical position and two or three of the numbers represent a horizontal position; alternatively, a geographic position may be expressed in a combined three-dimensional Cartesian vector. A common choice of coordinates is latitude, longitude and elevation. To specify a location on a plane requires a map projection.
