Rennes, the Breton language, crêpes, and Celtic France — how well do you know Bretagne?
Carnac's 3,000+ standing stones predate Stonehenge by over 2,000 years — and were erected by Neolithic farmers around 4500 BCE for unknown ceremonial purposes. Brittany (Bretagne, Breizh in Breton) juts into the Atlantic from northwest France, an independent kingdom and duchy until 1532 with its own Celtic language, music, and a rocky coast carved by some of Europe's biggest tides.
Each round presents 10 randomized questions from a pool of 50, with four multiple-choice options and instant feedback after every answer. Your final score comes with a performance tier and shareable results.
You'll explore Brittany's five historic départements and capital Rennes, the Breton language and its Welsh and Cornish cousins, prehistoric Carnac, walled Saint-Malo and the corsair Surcouf, the legends of Brocéliande and the Tro Breizh pilgrimage, the Gwenn ha Du flag and biniou bagpipes, and Breton classics from buckwheat galettes to kouign-amann and salted-butter caramel.
Bretons speak French and, increasingly less commonly, Breton (Brezhoneg) — a Celtic Brittonic language related to Welsh and Cornish. About 200,000–300,000 people still speak Breton today, supported by Diwan immersion schools.
The Carnac stones are more than 3,000 prehistoric menhirs aligned in long rows near the village of Carnac in southern Brittany. They were erected by Neolithic farmers around 4500–3300 BCE, predating Stonehenge by some 2,000 years.
In Brittany, a galette is a savory pancake made from buckwheat (sarrasin or blé noir). The classic galette complète is filled with ham, egg, and Gruyère cheese.
