'''Brittany''' (Breton: Breizh, French: Bretagne) is a peninsula to the north west of France. Historically a Celtic speaking region, it is now absorbed into France, although there is still a strong nationalist movement there. The current official region of "Bretagne" does not correspond exactly with historical Brittany, as it leaves out the city of Nantes and the department of Loire-Atlantique, which is traditionally Breton. Many people in that department still identify as Breton.
