The veuze is a Breton bagpipe found traditionally in southeastern Brittany and in the northern part of the Vendée, particularly around Nantes, the Guérande peninsula, and Basse-Vilaine. The veuze has been mentioned in writing dating to the 16th century, and is thought to be the oldest of the Breton bagpipes. The veuze is thought to be the antecedent of the biniou.

The Association Sonneurs de Veuzes ({{langx|fr|"Association of Veuze [bagpipe] Players"}}) was formed in Nantes in 1976.{{cite book|author1=Roland Becker|author2=Laure Le Gurun|title=La Musique Bretonne|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=NjXaAAAAMAAJ|access-date=13 July 2013|year=2000|publisher=Coop Breizh|isbn=978-2-909924-19-9|page=39}}{{cite book|author1=Jean Blanchard|author2=Geoffroy Morhain|author3=Raphaël Thiéry|title=Cornemuses de France, de Bourgogne et d'ailleurs|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=A_I8AQAAIAAJ|access-date=13 July 2013|year=2005|publisher=FTM Presse|isbn=978-2-916160-00-9|page=45}}
