In 2002 The Order of Bards Ovates and Druids, which already had considerable numbers of members in the Netherlands, began offering their distance learning courses in Dutch, French and German, with local groups soon forming.
The New Order of Druids was opened by David Dom in Belgium in January 2003. It is an online organisation, offering a free alternative for people to learn through the means of the Internet, with three main goals: to learn, to grow, to exchange. The New Order of Druids opened the first of its local groves, the Mother Grove called Nervii Nemeton, on September 2, 2005 in Antwerp, Belgium. It may possibly be the first Dutch druid organisation of modern Belgium.
Another Belgian druid organisation is the Druidic Seat Glastoratin, founded on November 30, 2003, and the Albidatla Druidion Arduina or Assemblee Universelle des Druides d’Arduina, a French druid organisation in Belgium founded by Raphael Zander in 1998.
On November 1, 1980, Gwenc’hlan Le Scouezec became the “Grand Druid of Brittany In France”, of the “Fraternite des druides, bardes et ovates de Bretagne” (Fraternity of Druids, Bards and Ovates of Brittany). Gwenc’hlan is sometimes also considered the “Grand Druid” of France.

* Le Cercle de l’Ambre (France)
* La Taverne du Sidh (Switzerland)
* The Kengerzhouriezh Drouizel an Dreist-Hanternoz (Compagnonnage Druidique d’Hyperboree) founded in 1982 (France)
* The Kredenn Geltiek Hollvedel (Worldwide Celtic Creed)or Kevanvod Tud Donn (Assembly of the people of the Goddess Ana), founded in 1936 by Raffig Tullou (France)
