Again, rainy day at home;so started looking at my albums and posts here in my blog . Found out there are a lot stuff from my early days blogging in 2011 that has not been notice enough, in my opinion. These are wonderful areas you should be aware of if visiting France.
Occitanie is one of them. In the administrative realignment of French regions in 2016, the two Languedoc-Roussillon and Midi-Pyrénées were merged into one. In turn the new region of Occitanie counts 13 departments/provinces such as Ariége, Aude, Aveyron, Gard, Haute-Garonne, Gers, Hérault, Lot, Lozére, Hautes-Pyrénées, Pyrénées-Orientales, Tarn, and Tarn-et-Garonne.
Well before them, there were others call Haut and Bas Languedoc, Roussillon, Cerdagne, Vallespir, Conflent, Capcir, Comté de Foix, parts of Gascogne such as Armagnac, Comminges, Couserans, Bigorre, Condomois, Nébouzan, Riviére-Verdun, as well as Guyenne with Quercy and Rouergue. There were part of the parliament of Toulouse founded in 1443.
This is the official webpage for the region in French: Occitanie new region old Midi Pyrenees
