The Wind
Our school is in Perpignan and Perpignan is in the South of France.
Framed by mountains and theMediterranean Sea, Perpignan is a windy place. It is by far the windiest region of France. "It's the land of wind".
This is why lines of wind turbines are springing up along the coast and inland hilltops.
The windiest area is along the coast between Narbonne and the Spanish border. This makes for good sailing and wind-surfing.
In Perpignan we have 5 winds.
