What are the differences between North, south, east, and west France?

Please list any differences that you have noticed between the north, south, east/west regions of france in regards to: produits (red or white wine), accents, agriculture versus modern technology, way of life etc. I've done some reasearch and the only thing that I could find was that the south had accents that sounded more like 'singing' and that they hold stronger to their traditional values. But what about local products? I know the east is best known for wine. Thank you a million! Merci! :)

Can someone please translate this for me into spanish!!!!?

Aragon is located in northeastern Spain. Aragon is bounded on the north by France, on the east by Catalonia, on the south by Valencia, and on the west by Castile-La Mancha, Castile-Leon, La Rioja, and Navarre. It comprises the provinces of Zaragoza, Huesca, and Teruel. It is traversed by the Ebro, mountainous in the north; with beautiful fertile valleys, rather barren in the south. The capital of Aragon is Zaragoza. In addition to its three provinces, Aragon is subdivided into 33 comarcas. Ordesa National Park near the border with France boasts some of the most spectacular scenes in Europe with its canyons, caves with frozen lakes, numerous waterfalls and varied wildlife with many Pyrenean endemic species presented. Many beautiful mountain butterflies and flowers can be seen in the summer, while during winter the region is a paradise for skiers. Ancient castles nestle on lonely hills, the most famous being the magnificent Loarre Castle. The oldest Romanesque cathedral in Spain is located in the medieval town of Jaca in the very northern part of Huesca Province. Aragon Day festival is celebrated on April 23 to mark the 470th anniversary of Queen Katherine of Aragon leaving Ampthill 'castle' after learning that her marriage to Henry VIII was annulled. Aragon Day Festival is designed to be a fun day for all the family, with displays of tudor music and dancing, puppet and story telling, together with traditional skills such as archery and lace making. One of the court jesters has been known to stroll into town to entertain the onlookers. The Carnival or the Corpus are edified intelligently over Pre-Christian and Pagan rites established by the rhythms of ancient life, ruled by the sun cycles, the seasons and the harvests. Typical dishes and ingredients from Aragon include roast lamb (especially ewes); ham (jamón) from Teruel; olive oil from Empeltre and Arbequina; and wines from Cariñena, Somontano (Huesca), Calatayud and Campo de Borja. The region also features several interesting seafood dishes, including several kinds of crab paste, due to the superstition that crabs help prevent illness; as well as often undercooked sea fish, steamed in the very saltwater they were taken from. The most important products include wheat, barley, rye, fruit and grapes. More products include iron ore, coal, olive oil, and wine. There is no specific flower or animal of Aragon Las personas famosas include Francisco de Goya who was a famous Spanish painter and is regarded as the most important Spanish artist of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. He was born in Fuendetodos, Spain on March 30, 1746. Over the course of his long career, Goya moved from jolly and lighthearted to deeply pessimistic in his paintings, drawings, and etchings. Another notable person from Aragon is Santiago Ramón y Cajal who won the Nobel Prize for his research on the human brain and nervous system. Pablo Gargallo is another famous person from aragon who is a sculptor and painter.
