car sticker "a l'aise Breizh", meaning "it's cool" / "it's OK"
It seems that every car and truck in Brittany has a sticker of the curly-haired tall-hatted figure with “A l’aise Breizh” written in the middle. The phrase is a play on words from another French phrase “A l’aise Blaise”(It’s cool, Blaise, where Blaise is a person’s name that happens to rhyme nicely). So it means something like “It’s cool, Breton”. Breizh is the old Breton language for a local. The figure was created in 1996, by a Breton in Paris who wanted to draw a figure on a T-shirt that reflected the spirit of his home region. And the people of Brittany certainly do seem more chilled and relaxed than most French. Most people in Brittany are on for a chat and happy to give their opinions and crack a few jokes. “A l’aise Breizh” also happens to be a Breton Fashion Brand
