"Let them take the opportunity to attach Loire-Atlantique to Brittany!"

The ironic remark made by the president of the Brittany region: “Let them take the opportunity to attach Loire-Atlantique to Brittany!” reflects what I would call the strength of the power system.

The Divine Comedy in Breton version

Dante's Divine Comedy, translated into Breton by the Breton priest Pêr Bourdellez, is much more than a simple translation.

Koun Breizh files a complaint for the destruction of archaeological remains in Kerguntuil - Tregastel.

A new case seems to suggest the destruction of standing stones in Tregastel. Koun Breizh is filing a complaint today so that a criminal investigation can clarify the situation. Our association is regularly alerted to similar incidents that occurred several years ago, which does not allow for effective action. Our megalithic heritage is subject to a worrying disregard.
