Indeed, but I think it's rather not "despite" but
because of frenchisation that such denominations are used (
North and
South being just inner division of a united France, and forgetting all those old
Provence, Langedoc, Flandres, Bretagne names).

I don't think that the average Southern French guy really know what the border between
Occitania and
Francia is. He feels 'Southern' and different from Northern people (Breton being probably even more 'exotic'), but he probably feels French as well.
I think Carnyx is right here :

Btw, Mynydd, why do you seem to think now that Brittany is nothing other than a French province ? Because of Gauls ?
If so, I will consider Catalunya as a French country since Catalan is considered as a Gallo-Romance language in France.
