      Certain regions of France are Celtic, just as certain regions of England and (historically)Spain are/were. I would accept those regions specifically but I’d feel a list including France in its entirety would be a huge reach.

      After what Thierry did? I’m insulted you’d have the cheek to even ask.

      I’d concider places like Brittany and Bilbao as celtic, but not France or Spain as a whole.

      I will always look back fondly on memories of French people being complete knobs to family, friends and I when overhearing the English language, only for their attitudes to do a complete 180 when they realise we’re Irish.

      Good bunch of lads, especially the Bretons

      You can hang around with us if you give us free cheese.

      I live in an Irish speaking area of Ireland and I’ve heard French Bretons have full conversations in Breton with irish speaking natives so my answer is 100% tá.

      (Non oui, tá… 🙂)

      do you let the Bretons give their children Breton names yet?

      France has fairly big Celtic roots though the Gauls, the Belgae, not just Brittany, which had much more obvious Celtic heritage and retains a fully functioning modern Celtic language.

      I mean even Paris was founded by the Gallic Parisii tribe, who the Romans noted were haughty and arrogant and disliked by the rest of Gaul, so nothing has really changed, they just added the Metro and a bit of fancy architecture…

      France is a melange though. It’s very much the crossroads of several Western European cultures.

      Was playing at the GAA Pan-European competition last year in Lyon and I have to say, the Celtic French teams play serious ball. The fact that there are two separate GAA Leagues in France too is wild. Something like 96% of players in the leagues are French players too.

      I like the French you guys know how to throw a good party and a good protest that’s all I need to know

      I suppose there are quite a few countries like France that could legitimately claim partial Celtic identity – England, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Holland, and Austria all had extensive Celtic settlement and have substantial Celtic heritage. Modern France is clearly more culturally Latin than Celtic though, perhaps with the exception of Brittany.

      From the west or south of the country, sure. From the east and north, I’ll have to think about that one.

      Well, you seem to hate the English plenty, as far as I’m concerned that’s more than enough.

    20. drcadwell on

      Only if you make anothe OSS 117 and set it in Ireland fightin’ the Brits.

      Ok, Brittany can come in, but Paris will have to wait in the car

      So the Bretons are descended allegedly from Britons fleeing the Saxon invasion of England, hence “Breton.” So yeah technically their more related to Welsh and Manx as opposed to “Gaul.”

      I worked in Quimper, Brittany for a spell a few years ago and was treated like a rock star in the Celtic pubs and bars. Great craic and a beautiful part of the world.
