Okay, I did some research. You're right, and you're wrong - sounds like a
marriage. Here is what Answers.com says;
Latin Europe culture is based on the Roman one, thus Latin. Latin European
countries include Andorra, France, Italy, Moldova, Monaco, Portugal,
Romania, San Marino, and Spain. It also includes some regions from other
countries, such as Wallonia in Belgium and the French- and Italian-speaking
cantons of Switzerland. Many of these countries are members of the Latin
Union.
In geographical terms, Latin Europe is southwestern Europe (including
France, Italy, Portugal and Spain and, occasionally, including neighbouring
Latin-speaking areas of other countries) and it excludes Romania which lies
in Eastern Europe.
