Nimes -- History
Languedoc-Roussillon is one of the 26 régions of France.
The région is made up of the following historical provinces:
Languedoc-Roussillon is the province of Languedoc: départements of Hérault, Gard, Aude, extreme south and extreme east of Lozère, and extreme north of Pyrénées-Orientales. The former province of Languedoc also extends over the Midi-Pyrénées région, including the old capital of Languedoc Toulouse.
Languedoc-Roussillon is the province of Gévaudan: Lozère département. A small part of Gévaudan is also inside the Auvergne région. Gévaudan is often considered to be a sub-province inside the province of Languedoc.
Languedoc-Roussillon is a collection of culturally Catalan pays (i.e. "countries"): Roussillon, Vallespir, Conflent, Capcir, and Cerdagne, all of which located from east to west inside the Pyrénées-Orientales département.
All of these pays (in Catalonia, on the other side of the border, a pays is known as a comarca) were part of the Ancient Regime province of Roussillon, owning its name to the largest and most populous of the five pays, Roussillon. "Province of Roussillon and adjacent lands of Cerdagne" was indeed the name that was officially used after the area became French in 1659, based on the historical division of the five pays between the county of Roussillon (Roussillon and Vallespir) and the county of Cerdagne (Cerdagne, Capcir, and Conflent).
The area covered by the Pyrénées Mountains is the home of a variety of peoples. They include the Andorrans, the Catalans, the Béarnais, and the Basques. Each group speaks its own dialect or language, and each desires to maintain and even augment its own autonomy. At the same time, these diverse groups manifest a general unity. Even though Andorra is an autonomous principality, there are still close ties to both Spain and France.
The best known peoples of the Pyrénées are the Basques. They speak a language that is non-Indo-European. They have a long tradition of fiercely defending their autonomy.
The Occitan language continues to be widely spoken around Nîmes and Uzès and in Haute-Loire and Ardèche.
The Occitan Language, which is also called Languedoc or Provençal, is a Romance language spoken by about 1,500,000 people in the south of France. Although Occitan speakers use French as their official and cultural language, Occitan dialects are used for everyday purposes and show no signs of extinction. Occitan is spoken in the area once known as Occitania. This includes the present day regions of Limousin, Languedoc-Roussillan, the old province of Aquitaine, and the southern part of the French Alpes.
