The term French Wind is composed of two words, MISTRAL (7 letters) and HORN (4 letters). MISTRAL is a strong, cold, northwesterly wind that blows in the Provence region of France. It is known for its gusty, dry, and sometimes destructive winds. HORN is a type of wind instrument made of brass or other metal, usually with a conical bore and a flared bell. It is used in many types of music, including classical, jazz, and folk.
