Deep temperature estimates previously made in France show three main positive thermal anomalies, one of them centred on the Provence basin (south-east France) between Marseille and Montpellier. This study presents newly corrected temperature data and improved temperature maps in order to (i) validate or to invalidate the thermal anomalies...
