Lovely Languedoc, France: Sévérac-le-Château

The castle at Sévérac-le-Château or Sévérac d’Aveyron viewed from the foot of the hill at sunset

In Southern France, history is not confined to individual locations, museums, or monuments; it is embedded throughout the landscape.

During the medieval period, Sévérac-le-Château or Sévérac d’Aveyron sat on a geographic, religious, and political fault line. On the edge of a region with a fiercely singular identity, it was caught between the Mediterranean world of the Cathar religion – condemned by the Catholics and Rome – and the tightening grip of power imposed by northern France.

For us, Sévérac is where the past got personal.

Languedoc, France: The Land That Says Yes! With Wind, Wine, & Rebellion

The fortified medieval city of Carcassonne viewed from outside the city walls

Wrapped around the Mediterranean coast, from Provence to the Pyrenees, lies the French region of Languedoc.

Translated literally, the Languedoc – le langue d’oc – means ‘the language of yes’. In the southern French Occitan language, Oc was the word for ‘yes’, distinguishing it from the northern old French affirmative oil – prounounced ‘oh-ee’ – which eventually evolved into the modern French, oui.
