Vieilles Histoires du Pays Breton

A warm collection of Breton folk tales, gathered from the voices of peasants and sailors who have kept these stories alive for generations. The narrator presents vivid episodes—like the mischievous Charlézenn who sings from treetops, the daring “Bâtard du roi,” and the humble love that blossoms in simple village life—each rooted in the rugged landscape of Brittany. The narratives capture the region’s humor, superstition, and deep connection to nature, inviting listeners to hear the cadence of a culture that values myth as much as daily toil.

Presented in a conversational tone, the stories were originally shared around hearths and church gatherings, offering both entertainment and a glimpse into the values of a people who cherish oral tradition. Listeners will feel the rhythm of coastal winds and the rustle of inland fields as each tale unfolds, while the narrator’s gentle commentary preserves the authenticity of these age‑old legends. This anthology is a doorway into the lyrical world of Breton heritage, perfect for anyone who enjoys folklore told with clarity and heart.
