A Village in ProvençeFriday everyone will be assigned the identity of someone
from a small, fictional community in Provençe in the late 17C
Traditionally ‘our’ community has been fairly isolated, with the result that
• the local land holders exercise a great deal of power
There is in our community:• a local bishop • a growing (but still small) commercial and professional

works on the land
• the central authority of the king reaches into the region, in the person of a local intendent
