Did you know the name of the flag is "Gwenn ha du"? It literally means "blanc et noir", or white & black in Breton. And even though it's so well-known, it's actually only been around for 70 or 80 years. It was inspired by the American flag, with each of the 9 stripes representing the old dioceses of Bretagne. I can't remember anymore what the hermines are supposed to represent though....
