L'Ordre des
Chevaliers Bretvins
Founded in 1948,
L'Ordre des Chevaliers Bretvins is a French Confrerie which
commemorates the customs, food and wine of the Pays de
Nantais.The headquarters of the Chevaliers Bretvins are in
the Chateau de Goulaine, just outside Nantes.
The Chevaliers Bretvins du Pays de Galles was established
in 1993 as a Bailliage or Branch of the main French Ordre.
This honour recognised the cultural ties between Wales and
Brittany and particularly between Cardiff, capital city of
Wales and Nantes the ancient capital of Brittany. We in
Wales assist our colleagues in the Pays de Nantais to
celebrate the great wine of that region, Muscadet and at
the same time acting as ambassadors for Wales and Cardiff
when visiting France and the other Bailliages throughout
the world.
