News brief

Historic Brittany has reached 5 million inhabitants.

As of January 1, 2026, the total of the departmental populations published by INSEE brings Brittany, with its five historical departments, to nearly 4.94 million inhabitants. While the symbolic threshold of 5 million is now in sight, a detailed analysis of births, deaths, and migration flows shows that growth is primarily based on residential attractiveness, in a context of marked aging and declining birth rates.

The tilde, used notably in the Breton name Fañch, is now accepted in first names registered in the French civil registry. Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin has asked prosecutors not to contest the use of this diacritical mark, putting an end to several years of controversy.

From sign to sacred: the symbolic revolution as the cradle of writing?

The Lascaux caves, the steles of Göbekli Tepe and Carnac: a semiology of the sacred? The signs of the engravings and cave paintings function as the invariants of a foundational myth. The metonymy at work in the combination of these signs allows access to the dimension of the sacred.

After Carhaix and its "Pantheon" of Breton statues, Lorient wants to showcase interceltism year-round: eight works in project.

In Lorient, another emblematic city of Celtic cultures thanks to the Interceltic Festival, a comparable initiative is taking shape, but on the scale of the Celtic nations: the city had already inaugurated, on August 3, 2008, a statue of Polig Monjarret. Today, its promoters want to go further: to install eight statues of musicians from other Celtic countries, in order to make inter-Celticism visible on a daily basis.
