Bretagne (Breizh) is a region of France, but it's much different from the rest of France. People feel Breton, Celtic, European but not French. Many cultural aspects make this region different from the rest of the country: the Breton language is still spoken by some people and used in folklore (e.g. in Guerlesquin, Plestin-les-Grèves, etc.) and religion (e.g. in Guimiliau); people are much more religious than in the rest of France; and many more... Bretagne consists of four départements: 22 Côtes d'Armor (Saint-Brieuc); 29 Finistère (Quimper); 35 Ille-et-Vilaine ( Rennes); 56 Morbihan (Vannes). Ille-et-Vilaine is the only département where Breton is not spoken. The Breton of Morbihan, known as Vannetais, is a bit different from the one spoken in the two other départements. Finistère is the most different from the rest of France. |

Very interesting page Michele! I've been to Bretagne a few times and really love it. | starship Wed Jun 4, 2008 13:17 UTC
Your page brings back memories of our trip here in 1985. Yes, it really is a very different side of France! | sim1 Sun Mar 30, 2008 14:53 UTC
Great page Michele! I really would love to Bretagne some day! Strangely enough it feels so far away, but yet it is relatively close. | JLBG Mon May 1, 2006 06:14 UTC
