EuroBreton flag - Image by Ivan Sache, 26 July 2003
The EuroBreton flag is the European Union flag with the white letters "BZH" inside the ring of stars. The >EuroBretonflag was presented by Mikael Bodlore-Penlaez, who is, however, not the designer of the flag, in Ar Banniel [arb], #12 (Summer 2000).
"BZH" stands for Breizh, the Breton name of Brittany, indeed a compromise between Breiz(KLT - Cornwall-Léon-Trégor
- phonetic spelling) and Breih
(Vannes phonetic spelling). The letters
"BZH" appear on all kinds of car stickers and other items related to
Brittany.
The word Breizh is more and more frequently used, for
instance in Tro Breiz (Tour of Brittany), the traditional Breton pilgrimage via the seven saints' cathedrals; Radio Bleue Breizh Izel, the regional radio station; Coop Breizh, a company distributing Breton books, music, flags; and the youth movement Breizh Positive.
