it would be retarded to call France arid. it would be the same as saying that Spain is a fertile grassland because of Galicia. the region of France that is arid is quite small and insignificant, as is evident from the map posted previously.
Traditionally, real "French" people from these regions are quite white. If you ignore all the niggers and brown people (who are recent importations due to immigration. picrel is a chef called
Michel Bras from Aveyron, i just looked up "famous occitanian people" and only found white dudes (except for the immigrants of course), you can do the same if you'd like.
they're mostly the descendants of barbarian tribes, just like the rest of Central Europeans, since France was quite overrun with them after the roman empire fell.
