* 68.7% of Languedoc-Roussillon was formerly part the province of [[Languedoc]]: the departments of [[Hérault]], [[Gard]], [[Aude]], the extreme south and extreme east of [[Lozère]], and the extreme north of [[Pyrénées-Orientales]]. The former province of Languedoc also extends over what is now the [[Midi-Pyrénées]] region, including the old capital of Languedoc [[Toulouse]].
* 17.9% of Languedoc-Roussillon was formerly the province of [[Gévaudan]], now the department of Lozère. A small part of the former Gévaudan lies inside the current [[Auvergne (region)|Auvergne]] region. Gévaudan is often considered to be a sub-province inside the province of Languedoc, in which case Languedoc would account for 86.6% of Languedoc-Roussillon.
* 13.4% of Languedoc-Roussillon, located in the southernmost part of the region, is a collection of five historical [[Catalonia|Catalan]] {{lang|fr|[[Pays (France){{!}}pays]]}}, from east to west: [[Roussillon]], [[Vallespir]], [[Conflent]], [[Capcir]], and [[French Cerdagne|Cerdagne]], all of which are now part of the department of [[Pyrénées-Orientales]]. These pays were part of the [[Ancien Régime]] [[Roussillon|province of Roussillon]], owning its name to the largest and most populous of the five pays, Roussillon. "Province of Roussillon and adjacent lands of Cerdagne" was indeed the name that was officially used after the area became French in 1659, based on the historical division of the five pays between the [[county of Roussillon]] (Roussillon and Vallespir) and the [[Cerdanya|county of Cerdagne]] (Cerdagne, Capcir, and Conflent).

[[Llívia]] is a town of Cerdanya, province of Girona, Catalonia, Spain, that forms a Spanish exclave surrounded by French territory (department of Pyrénées-Orientales).
