"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. This system relies solely on the allegiance of our prominent elected officials who pretend. True democracy demands respect for the peoples and not for the large regions constructed to maintain the system. Our regional president has chosen his side a long time ago.

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. Of the 15,000 verses that make up this masterpiece of the late Middle Ages, about 5,000 were written in Breton, with the aim of preserving the spirit of the language through the unfolding of an epic journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise.

Gwennyn: "We are at a crossroads"

In contrast to the pessimistic discourse about the future of Breton, Gwennyn advocates for a decidedly optimistic vision. For the artist, the internet and artificial intelligence will accelerate the dissemination of the language among younger generations. She reflects for ABP on her commitment and on the momentum created with the Breizh A Live festival.

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 finally allowed in Breton first names like Fañch.

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.

Communiqué de presse

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.
