Petite légende dorée de la Haute-Bretagne

FR·~4 hours

Description

A modest yet richly illustrated collection invites listeners to wander the mist‑laden coasts and ancient stone circles of Brittany, where saints once walked on water and left their marks on the landscape. Each tale is rooted in a specific locale—be it a hidden fountain, a weather‑worn cross, or a tiny chapel—offering a vivid glimpse of how ordinary villagers wove miracles into their everyday surroundings.

The stories unfold with gentle reverence, blending historical fragments and popular devotion to reveal characters both celebrated by the Church and cherished solely by local memory. As the narrator guides you through these “golden legends,” you’ll hear of saints confronting the sea, taming the wind, and interacting with the natural world, all while the surrounding folklore breathes life into the enduring spirit of Haute‑Bretagne.
