Languedoc-Roussillon, Historical region in southern France
The territory extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the Pyrenees Mountains, covering five departments including Aude, Gard, Hérault, Lozère, and Pyrénées-Orientales.
Established in 1960 as an administrative region, Languedoc-Roussillon merged with Midi-Pyrénées in 2016 to form the current region of Occitania.
The region maintains three distinct linguistic traditions with French as the official language, while Occitan and Catalan remain present in local communities.
The Mediterranean climate creates favorable conditions for wine production, with numerous vineyards spread across the departments of Aude and Hérault.
The region contains both coastal landscapes along the Mediterranean and mountainous terrain in the Cévennes, creating varied ecosystems within short distances.
