Since people on this forum are very ignorant about romance languages and think that they're all the same, i'll wrote something about this category: gallo-romance languages are substantially the developement of the vulgar latin spoken in the former roman Gallie (Padanian plain, modern day France and Wallonia), which was a mixture of latin and the pre-roman gaulish languages, derived from the romanization of the areas.
Here the map about the modern day area of these languages:
...and here the subdivision:
Northern Gallo-romance: Oil french, walloon and normannic
Southern Gallo-romance: Occitan dialects, Catalan (Valencian and Balearic included) and Piemontèis.
Eastern Gallo-romance: Insubric (Western Lombard), Orobich (Eastern Lombard), Emilian, Rumagnòl, Venetian, Istriot and Ligurian.

There is a continuity between all of the galloromance languages which border each other, but obviouslt more east to west you go and viceversa, the extreme languages are different, but still mutually intelligibles.
The interesting fact is that Occitan is the summa of all the galloromance languages...maybe due to the gegraphical distribution.
The most difficult galloromance language is, IMHO, ligurian:
Listen this hardcore ligurian song...i barely understand 40% of the words...
...ligurian...this was the native language of Christopher Columbus...probably the first european words pronunced in the carribean were...ligurians, lol.
