Zone B, Gouel Breizh, and Breton culture

In Brittany, winter and spring school holidays fall under Zone B (académie de Rennes). The region celebrates its cultural and linguistic heritage during Brittany Day (Fête de la Bretagne / Gouel Breizh) around Saint-Yves (19 May), patron saint of Brittany.
Breton living culture is celebrated through traditional Fest-Noz dance and music gatherings (recognised by UNESCO) and major maritime festivals in Brest and Lorient.
