-'''Brittany''' (Breton:&nbsp;Breizh,&nbsp;French:&nbsp;Bretagne) is a peninsula to the north west of France. Historically a Celtic speaking country, 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.
