Brittany Region in France

For several generations, the inhabitants of Brittany risked life, catching fish in stormy waters and struggling with a non-frozen saline soil, and their resistance was fueled by Celtic culture: mystical and musical, sometimes melancholic, and sometimes life-affirming. After uniting with France in 1532, Bretonians gradually lost their language, and the local population decreased.
