Description

This vivid portrait invites listeners to wander through the hidden corners of Cornouaille, a Breton land often painted in gloomy hues by outsiders. The narrator gently dismantles those tired stereotypes—storm‑tossed seas, barren moors, melancholy folk—by recalling the region’s festivals, fragrant gardens, and the warm hospitality once noted by travelers like Madame de Sévigné. Through a blend of history, poetry and personal observation, the book restores a richer, more colorful image of a place where light and laughter coexist with the misty coastline.

Interwoven with the voices of writers who have both romanticised and misunderstood Breton life, the story becomes a conversation across centuries. Listeners will hear the rustle of ancient hedgerows, the echo of market songs, and the quiet pride of locals defending their identity. It is an invitation to experience the true spirit of Cornouaille, beyond the shadows cast by distant imaginations.
