Even today despite the frenchization, there are termes to define people, "nordiste" and "sudiste". When I worked a short time near to Narbonna, a Catalan co-worker called me "le nordique". Another friend of mine, half-Gascon half-Corsican, called me "le nordiste".
On contrary, I never saw or heard a division of the french hexagon based on the west and east, it's quite unrealistic.
