Bollène ({{IPA|fr|bɔlɛn}}; Provençal: Bouleno) is a commune in the Vaucluse department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France.

Geography

Bollène is a commune located in the north of the Vaucluse department next to the junction of Drôme, Ardèche and Gard departments. Located near major communication routes, the city (old town) occupies the northern end of a sandstone plateau where lie the communes of Mondragon, Mornas, Uchaux and Lagarde-Paréol. The rest of the town, including the lower town, stretches over a fertile plain which rests on a large layer of clay.{{Cite book |last=Courtet |first=Jules |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mmbKMhLGMgAC&pg=PP7 |title=Dictionnaire géographique, géologique, historique, archéologique et biographique des communes du département de Vaucluse |publisher=Fr.
