Legends

Whether natural or supernatural, legends are an integral part of Breton culture. Everywhere, one finds magic places, places which are often unique where the sky, the earth and the sea are in perfect harmony. In the middle of a moor of gorse and broom in flower, a goblin or a "korrigan" might loom up at any moment and by daylight, a mermaid might appear on a irredescent steely coloured sea, or the White Lady might emerge from the enchanted lake. In the ancient forest of Brocéliande , the names of Merlin and Arthur are in keeping with and commune with a nature that is both strange and mysterious? Impressive and friendly giants such as Rannou, Hok Braz and Gargantua crossed Brittany in one full step and left their traces in the countryside. Lust, debauchery and vice are to be associated with the mythological town of Ys engulfed in the bay of Douarnenez, by a tidal wave. Evangelical saints, fairys, korrigans, watches, giants... Legends about rocks, water, and dragons among others filled the Breton imagination, avid for enchantment and for the extraordinary.
