Les Enfants Bretons




There is an increased interest in the suppressed indigenous languages of France. the photo above show two children from the village of Kervallon in Brittany, where their parents farm their ancestral land. Bretons are celtic speaking but the language has faded in the last sixty years or so.

Hopefully this is the begining of a resurgence like it happened to Welsh in Wales, to which Breton Language is linguistically related.
