Everything about Southern France totally explained
Southern France (or the
South of France), colloquially known as
Le Midi, is a loosely defined geographical area consisting of the regions of
France that border the
Atlantic Ocean south of the
Gironde,
Spain, the
Mediterranean Sea,
Italy, and
Switzerland south of the
Jura. The region includes:
This area corresponds in large part to
Occitania; that to say, the territory in which
Occitan (the
langue d'oc) – as distinct from the
langues d'oïl of northern France – was the historically dominant language.
The name
le Midi derives from
mi (middle) and
di (day) in
Old French. Midday was synonymous with the direction of south because in France the Sun is in the south at noon, like all of the
Northern Hemisphere. The synonymy existed in
Middle French as well, where
meridien means both "midday" and "south."
