Departments Côtes-d'Armor Code: 22 Area: 6,878 km2 Préfecture: Saint-Brieuc The department was initially named Côtes-du-Nord ("Northern-Coasts"), referring to its geographical situation in Brittany. In the 1960s, it was claimed that "Northern" could limit tourism, and the name of the department was changed in 1990 to the French-Breton hybrid name Côtes-d'Armor. In Breton, Armor means the sea, and was used to named all parts of Brittany close to the coasts, as opposed to Argoat, the land, which was used to name the inner parts of Britanny. Finistère Code: 29 Area: 6,733 km2 Préfecture: Quimper The department is named after its geographical location, at land's end (Finis Terrae, in Latin). Morbihan Code: 56 Area: 6,823 km2 Préfecture: Vannes The department is named after the gulf of Morbihan (in Breton, little sea). Ille-et-Vilaine Code: 35 Area: 6,775 km2 Préfecture: Rennes The department is named after the rivers Ille and Vilaine (225 km), tributary of the Channel. |
