Brittany, France

Brittany is the land of legends. In fact Brittany has more legends per head of the population than any other region of France. This is probably the fault of the Cornish Bretons, who settled there in vast numbers in the fifth century, bringing with them some clotted cream, some pasties, an impenetrable language and a line in very tall tales. By the time they arrived, the clotted cream and pasties had gone off so they threw them overboard. The language however survives in trips-off-the-tongue place names like Le Relecq-Kerhoun, and you can't drive more than a few kilometres without running into a Tall Tale.
