'''Brittany''' (Fr.: ''Bretagne'') is a region of north-west France, bounded by the [[English Channel]] to its north and the [[Bay of Biscay]] to its south. Its chief towns are [[Rennes]] and the port of [[Brest]]. As well as French, the [[Celtic]] language [[Breton]] is spoken in Brittany. Breton is similar to [[Welsh]], and the region has a distict Celtic heritage. Its name derives from the migration here of native British following the Anglo-Saxon conquest of what was to become [[England]]. The name [[Great Britain]] (''Grand Bretagne'' in French) has the prefix 'Great' to distinguish it from 'little' Brittany (''Bretagne'').
