Brittany has developed its own regional flair over the centuries (it was British for a short time) — the region and its oldest city, Quimper, have a unique culture and language. Each July, Brittany culture is celebrated at the Festival de Cornouaille, a cultural festival of dancing, costumes, and traditional cooking. Breton, an endangered Celtic language brought here in medieval times, can still be heard here. Today, this enchanting region is known for its faïence (tin-glazed earthenware), its seafood, its crepes, and its cider.
