Ille-et-Vilaine is a department of France, located in the region of Brittany in the northwest of the country.

Upper Brittany (Gallo: Haùtt-Bertaèyn) is the eastern part of Brittany, which is predominantly of a Romance culture and is associated with the Gallo language.

The name is in counterpoint to Lower Brittany, the western part of the ancient province and present-day region, where the Breton language has traditionally been spoken.

However, there is no certainty as to exactly where the line between 'Upper' and 'Lower' Brittany falls.

The French Third Republic (sometimes written as ') was the system of government adopted in France from 1870, when the Second French Empire collapsed, until 1940, when France's defeat by Nazi Germany in World War II led to the formation of the Vichy government in France.

It came to an end on 10 July 1940.

Tourism is travel for pleasure or business; also the theory and practice of touring, the business of attracting, accommodating, and entertaining tourists, and the business of operating tours.

Tourism may be international, or within the traveller's country.

The World Tourism Organization defines tourism more generally, in terms which go "beyond the common perception of tourism as being limited to holiday activity only", as people "traveling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes".

A holiday is a day set aside by custom or by law on which normal activities, especially business or work, are suspended or reduced.

Generally, holidays are intended to allow individuals to celebrate or commemorate an event or tradition of cultural or religious significance.

Holidays may be designated by governments, religious institutions, or other groups or organizations.

The degree to which normal activities are reduced by a holiday may depend on local laws, customs, the type of job being held or even personal choices.
