        Breton flag  The Breton Flag "Gwenn ha Du" (meaning White and Black) was created 
 in 1925. It consists of 9 stripes: 5 black ones (representing the 5 ancient
 counties or bishoprics of Haute-Bretagne: Dol, Nantes, Rennes, St-Brieuc 
 and St-Malo) and the 4 white (representing those of Basse-Bretagne: Cornouaille, Léon, Trégor
 and Vannetais) plus 11 ermines in the top left corner (the ermine being considered almost
 everywhere as the symbol of Brittany).
