The northern part of the Languedoc-Roussillon region in the deep south of France on the Mediterranean coast. From north to south-west, it comprises the three departments of Gard, Hérault and Aude. The much smaller Roussillon in the department of Pyrénées-Orientales adjoins to the west, with the wine-growing regions of Provence and Rhône to the east. The name is derived from "langue d'oc", which means "language of the Oc" (oc = yes). This Occitan language was spoken south of the Loire in the Middle Ages; "langue d'oil" was spoken to the north ("oui" developed from "oil").
