The flag of Brittany (Breton: banniel Breiz; French: drapeau de la Bretagne), a region in the northwest of France, is called the Gwenn-ha-du ([ɡwɛnaˈdyː]), which means white and black, in Breton (French blanc et noir). The flag was designed in 1923 by Morvan Marchal. It is also unofficially used in the department of Loire-Atlantique, although this now belongs to the Pays de la Loire and not to the region of Brittany, as the territory of Loire-Atlantique is historically part of the province of Brittany. Nantes (Breton: Naoned), its prefecture, was once one of the two capital cities of Brittany.
