Where is the south of France?

I AM writing with a question that has puzzling me for a long time: where is the south of France?

We live in the Aude (Languedoc-Roussillon) and, according to advertising, we are sometimes listed as southeast, sometimes south-west.

If one looks at an overall map of France (such as the one in your Classified Directory), we are more southern than the Cote d’Azur, and almost central between east and west France.

Surely, we are the true south of France?
