Koun Breizh's response to the attack by the Mayor of Plouzane.

The article published in Ouest-france about the de-Bretonization of the Coat-Edern school allowed the mayor of Plouzane, Yves Du Buit, to avoid answering our legitimate questions and to caricature us by calling us "nationalists." This warranted a response from us. Above all, this example once again demonstrates the disinterest of certain elected officials in our Breton heritage.

A massive Gallic oppidum discovered in Brittany reaffirms Celtic presence in Armorica.

Excavations conducted at Vieux-Vy-sur-Couesnon, in Ille-et-Vilaine, reveal the organization of a vast Gallic settlement covering 125 hectares. This discovery adds to an already considerable collection of remnants of Gallic civilization in Brittany, from Paule to Yaudet, including Huelgoat and Tronoën. It also invites a reconsideration of the claims made by archaeologist Yannick Lecerf, who stated that the Celts never came to Brittany.
