abstract:La Provence is a French daily newspaper founded in 1997 and published in Marseille. It was created in Marseille from the merger of two daily newspapers, Le Provençal and the Le Méridional, which was bought by Gaston Defferre.
One resident, whose name was given only as Sabrina, told LaProvence that people had appealed to the authorities only to be told they had to wait several months before they would step in.
