Celtic Studies in France
France produced the first academic journal devoted to Celtic studies, Revue Celtique. Revue Celtique was first published in 1870 in Paris and continued until the death of its last editor, Joseph Loth, in 1934. After that point it was continued under the name Études Celtiques. In 2007, 2.8% of the children were enrolled in bilingual primary schools and the number of children enrolled in these schools is steadily growing.
