THE'Occitania is a region of South West of France, resulting from the merger of the former regions Midi-Pyrenees and Languedoc-Roussillon. Its capital is Toulouse.

Understand

Occitanie is the new appellation adopted by the region after consultation with its inhabitants. It nevertheless encountered strong opposition, both within the region (the department of Pyrénées-Orientales not being Occitan, but Catalan) and outside, historical Occitania being much larger ( the regions Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and New Aquitaine being partly of Occitan culture). The region extends over several former provinces: Languedoc (historic capital: Toulouse), Roussillon (capital: Perpignan), the county of Foix (capital: Foix) and covers part of ancient Gascony, 2/3 of which are however in New Aquitaine.
