I thought in Brittany they actually spoke their own language, Breton?
I also wonder about the south coast of France, especially around Marseille, which always seems to see itself as outsiders, if what I have read in the past is accurate.
Yes Breton is spoken but it’s a small minority and young people tend to learn it by conviction, not organically by their families. There are still some schools that teach it as a secondary language but it’s optional.
Marseilles doesn’t have a separatist movement but a strong anti-Paris sentiment. Southern French has a significant accent and some linguistic variation
yeah corsica serious to the point of violence.
