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.

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.
