Bretagne, or Brittany in English, is a region located in the northwest of France, known for its rich historical and cultural heritage. Historically, it was once an independent Celtic territory before being integrated into France in the 16th century. Its unique cultural identity is evident in its language, Breton, which is a Celtic language closely related to Welsh and Cornish. Brittany is also renowned for its stunning coastline, picturesque villages, and delicious cuisine, particularly its seafood dishes like crêpes and galettes. Humorously, the Bretons are often depicted as fiercely independent and proud of their heritage, with a penchant for rebelliousness and a love of folk traditions like Fest Noz (night festivals) and traditional Breton music.
