Tartans of Britany the French are Kilted
I recently bought my first kilt, all tough I have no or thought I had no actual ancestry in Scotland or Ireland. After doing some research I found that the region of Bretagne in France, which is the north western most region of France, is actually of Gaelic heritage. turns out after many months of research I can trace my roots back to at least the early 1400's, all the way back to Nante, Bretagne, France.
So this peaked my interest even more , maybe there are tartans for France ? seeing as it was Gaelic at one time. Well there are tartans. They can be found here http://www.tartanbreton.com/.
The reason why I posted this is that I would like any one with information on how I can get my hands on either the Normand Tartan or the Bro-Naoned Tartan or even just general information on this topic let me know let us all know.
