Hi everybody!

I've been browsing this forum for months, as a flibustiers fan.

I come from Bretagne (France), and I apologize for my basic english.

Basically, I'm in a company reenacting britto-roman soldiers in the very early middle-age but I've started a 1670-80 flibustier kit recently.

Piracy and flibuste period is not much reenacted in France, so...here I am!

kenavo!

Bienvenu, mon cher corsaire armoricain!

One of my characters, now pirate, had been with the French corsaires for a while B)) . And I am also playing a French Navy captain, whose theme song is... (looks around for any potentially offended Brits).. "Le 31 du mois d'Aout".

Welcome aboard! You've found good company here. It's a privilege to have a member from such a historically rich part of the world.

And your English fine! Certainly better than my primary school French (and I suspect you're probably the only one on this list who might also speak Bretton or Gallo, eh?)

Hum.. I live in the Breton speaking part of Brittany, but i don't really speak it, even if i know words and use typical expressions in this language (which is very close to Welsh, if it can help american people to imagine what it souds like).

As you say, I might be the only one on this forum, though, Breton must have been very spoken in Tortuga and Saint-Domingue, because many breton people went across the atlantic as "engagés" in the colonies.

Anyway, thanks all for this warm welcome!
