Corbières-en-Provence (in French pronounced as /kɔʁbjɛʁ ɑ̃ pʁɔvɑ̃s/, literally Corbières in Provence; Occitan (post 1500);: Corbièras),[2] simply known as Corbières until 2018, is a commune in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of Southeastern France. Its inhabitants are called Corbiérains (masculine) and Corbiéraines (feminine).
