Bretagne réunie (Reunited Brittany; Breton, Breizh Unvan; website) is a federation of associations struggling for the reunification of Brittany, that is the transfer of the department of Loire-Atlantique from Region Pays de Loire to Region Bretagne, to match the historical Duchy of Brittany.
According to the association's Statutes (text), last amended on 16 November 2013, the aim of Bretagne réunie is "the establishment as a territorial collectivity of a Region Bretagne made of the today's departments of C&oacird;tes d'Armor, Finistère, Ille-et-Vilaine, Loire-Atlantique, and Morbihan, in order to facilitate the industrial, economical, cultural, humanitarian, environmental, linguistic and socual development of Brittany." The association is seated in Nantes, the capital of Loire-Atlantique (and of Region Pays de la Loire).
The expectations of the supporters of reunification were dampened by the 2014 territorial reform, which left the two regions unchanged.
