AI overview
The Bretons are an ethnic group native to Brittany in north-western France who originally descended from Brittonic speakers who migrated from southwestern Great Britain (particularly Cornwall and Devon) between the 3rd and 9th centuries. Their migration and settlement in what became known as Brittany shaped the region's distinct cultural and linguistic identity that persists today.
