Comment

The triskel, also spelled triskell or triskel (in Breton) or called triskelion or triscèle (from the Greek τρισκελης / triskelês, "triskélès" meaning "three-legged"), is a symbol representing three human legs, or three intersecting spirals, or any other symbol with three protuberances evoking cyclic group symmetry. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trisk%C3%A8le

The name "région Bretagne" was given to the administrative region comprising the four départements of Côtes-d'Armor, Finistère, Ille-et-Vilaine and Morbihan. The department of Loire-Atlantique is part of the Pays de la Loire region; the question of its attachment to the Bretagne region is the subject of debate. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bretagne
