bigouden flag

 bigouden flag

The history of the flag of Pays-Bigouden is very complicated. This flag is the first one of the kind for a micro-country. It is for the initiative of the APPB (Association of Promotion of Pays-Bigouden) that Bernard Le Brun was contacted to realize a flag.

After different project a yellow and red flag was retained. These colours are those of Pont-l'Abbé, the capital of the country bigouden. The first reserved project contained 20 fleck of ermine to represent the municipalities of the traditional country.

Ambroise Guellec, president of the APPB required at the end of 92 that he compt to it 23 to represent the municipalities of the canton. The red was also replaced by of orange-coloured, colour of the embroidery. These changes were made without the license of the author. Bernard Le Brun so wished to bring modifications to these arbitrary decisions. In June, 1996, orange was replaced by the initial red, as wished it the author. Of same Ploneis who is in country Glazik refused to appear on the flag and an ermine was abolished.

After the Breton nationalist alarm clock, Morvan MARCHAL, one of the founders of BREIZ ATAO, bends over the necessity of supplying in Brittany an unifying emblem. It is so in the concern to synthetize the traditional values and the modern conception of the country where is born in 1923 the " GWENN HA OF ". The frank canton of ermine reminds the ducale banner.

Four white strips represent countries and bretonnants bishop's palaces (that is LÉON, TREGOR, CORNOUAILLAIS, VANNETAIS).

Five black strips symbolize countries and gallos bishop's palaces (the RENNAIS, the INHABITANT OF NANTES, the DOLOIS, the MALOUIN and the PENTHIEVRE).

The set forms an emblem realized in the respect for the heraldic tradition, namely a clear, visible and recognizable flag by far, coherent and evoking in best Brittany.

And that is why, the GWENN HA OF (considered as rebellious since its creation until 1945) is inescapable symbol of Brittany today.
