Averoigne is a fictional counterpart of a historical province in France, detailed in a series of short stories by the American writer Clark Ashton Smith. Smith may have based Averoigne on the actual province of Auvergne, but its name was probably influenced by the French department of Aveyron, immediately south of Auvergne, due to the similarity in pronunciation. Sixteen of Smith's stories take place in Averoigne. In Smith's fiction, the Southern French province is considered "the most witch-ridden in the entire country." The most well-known citizen is Gaspard du Nord of Vyones, a wizard who translated The Book of Eibon into Norman French.

has abstract	Averoigne is a fictional counterpart of a historical province in France, detailed in a series of short stories by the American writer Clark Ashton Smith. Smith may have based Averoigne on the actual province of Auvergne, but its name was probably influenced by the French department of Aveyron, immediately south of Auvergne, due to the similarity in pronunciation.

(en) Averoigne es una provincia ficticia de la Francia medieval, detallada en una serie de historias cortas narradas por el escritor estadounidense Clark Ashton Smith. La provincia real en la que se basó Smith es Auvernia. (es) L'Averoigne est une province historique fictive située en France, apparaissant dans les œuvres de l'écrivain américain Clark Ashton Smith. Son nom est sans doute inspiré des noms de régions françaises réelles de l'Auvergne et de l'Aveyron (un peu comme l'avait fait James Branch Cabell avec sa province du Poictesme). Mais il est probable que l'auteur n'ait jamais été dans ces régions, se contentant de se baser sur les sonorités de ces toponymes. Cette province est au cœur de plusieurs de ses œuvres mêlant fantasy, fantastique, gothique, humour et horreur. Si celles-ci se déroulent généralement au Moyen Âge, plusieurs d'entre elles se passent également à d'autres époques (Antiquité, fin de l'Ancien Régime...). Dans ses histoires, l'auteur essaye de faire preuve de réalisme historique, bien qu'il admette avoir commis des erreurs. (fr)
