BRITTANY

Brittany is a region in North-West of France.

• MAP OF FRANCE

It is made of 4 departments. Ours is in the South of Brittany: the Morbihan.

HERE

In fact, this name « Morbihan » comes from Breton language. It

means « little sea », because of the « Golfe du Morbihan », which is a

sound coming in the Atlantic Ocean.

The heart of people in Brittany is divided between love of land and

love of sea.

love of sea.

Seaside in Brittany

Our tradition is a tradition of sea men and farmers. Perhaps, you

know a few sea races, whose winners were often Bretons.

Eric Tabarly was a famous sea man, and his boat « Pen Duick » is very

famous too.

The attachment of Bretons to their region allows to preserve wonderful

areas.

It has also a link with a strong breton culture and a real breton

identity.
