Getting started with Bouches-du-Rhône research

Bouches-du-Rhône is a Department in the south of France named after the mouth of the Rhône River, situated in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region.  It is one of the 83 original Departments created during the French Revolution and was created from the former province of Provence and the principalities of Orange, Martigues and Lambesc.  It lost some of its territory when the Vaucluse Department was created.
