I only give answers for the towns I have visited.
About "Languedoc" : There were until recently several regional languages spoken in France. Most of them (but not all) were derived from latin, and those were divided into two groupes depending on the word for "yes". The North variant was the "langue d'oil" ("oil" language). Since it was spoken in the capital city, Paris, it finally won the game ; "oil" evolved into the modern french "oui".
In the South, "yes" was "Oc" and so the linguistic group was called "Langue d'Oc", which gave its name to the region. The regional language, also called "Occitan", is still spoken.
Aachen Holy Roman Empire this land is now divided between several countries, including France and Germany
Bastia Corsica Corsica is currently a region of France
Cracow Poland (Cracow is a beautiful city !): Warsaw, Poland
Toulouse Languedoc Languedoc is now in France
