The people of the Languedoc whose troubadour poetry invention, Cathar spiritual independence, and Occitan language revival made them the most lyrically gifted and culturally distinctive people of southern France.
Occitans — the people of the vast southern arc from Bordeaux to the Alps whose Occitan language, the tongue of the troubadours who invented courtly love poetry in the twelfth century and gave European literature its most enduring romantic conventions, survived centuries of northern French political dominance, the Albigensian Crusade's devastation, and the Ordinance of Villers-Cotterêts to remain today a living language spoken by hundreds of thousands across Provence, Gascony, and the Languedoc. Their civilization, the most culturally sophisticated and most religiously tolerant in medieval France before the Crusade extinguished it, left in the Occitan song, the Cathar ruins of Montségur, and the troubadour legacy a heritage the modern Occitan revival movement carries with the most passionate regional pride in contemporary France. This interactive sweatshirt connects you to that troubadour and Languedoc legacy with a QR code linking to the full story.
