Modern France is split up into larger administrative Regions broken up into smaller administrative departments. Brittany and Pays de la Loire are two currently existing, neighboring regions of this kind. Nantes (and its département, Loire Atlantique) fall within the Pays de la Loire region and not within the current Brittany region. 83.195.92.222 22:58, 5 September 2007 (UTC)Also, the growing area for Muscadet is culturally, linguistically and historically closer to Poitou-Charentes than to Brittany. You might hear a winemaker say juilleT ("T" pronounced) just as you will always hear the terminal "T" pronounced in the name of the village of Vallet. This pronunciation comes from the Poitevin dialect of French (a latinate language not too different from the French of Paris). Certainly not Bréton, though coloured by the latinate language "Gallo" spoken in many parts of the Southern Armorican Penisula including some places not far from Nantes (Pontchateau, Redon, Vannes and...Rennes!). 83.195.92.222 22:
