Brittany, or Bretagne in French, is located in the Northwestern part of France. Its name traces back to the Celtic people, the Britons, who inhabited modern-day Britain and parts of France during ancient times. Following the decline of the Roman Empire many Britons from Great Britain migrated to France: seeking refuge they crossed the English Channel and settled in this Northwestern region of France, which eventually became known as Brittany.

Their arrival influenced the culture, language, and thus even the name of the region, but Brittany did developed its own distinct identity over the centuries. Today, Brittany stands as a vibrant region with a rich history. Ánd some nice landscapes to discover during nice motorcycle rides.
