franck ferrand on europe 1 at the heart of
00:00:03
history for the last time of the
00:00:05
week the time has come to find
00:00:06
franck ferrand on europe 1 hello
00:00:09
franck hello julien hello everyone
00:00:11
we are going to dare today the
00:00:13
once upon a time of us tale of fairies it is
00:00:15
indeed a legendary universe that I
00:00:18
suggest you explore together that of
00:00:20
Brittany the immemorial Celtic Brittany
00:00:22
and I feel that we are going to
00:00:24
walk in the forest of Brocéliande and
00:00:26
yes we walk Julia or perhaps we get lost
00:00:27
there The only guarantee I
00:00:29
can give you is that we have
00:00:30
the best guides in the person of
00:00:33
Claudine Glot who is the true
00:00:35
memory of this forest 6 and more
00:00:37
generally of this Brittany there
00:00:50
from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. still
00:00:52
in the heart of the history
00:00:55
franck ferrand
00:01:00
[Music]
00:01:10
in the belle époque a man of culture and
00:01:13
passion
00:01:14
it's true that it often goes well
00:01:15
together roamed all over northern Brittany
00:01:18
in search of meters during
00:01:21
the vigils of the time
00:01:22
you have these meters which transmitted
00:01:24
almost intact the old oral heritage
00:01:27
of legends and Celtic tales this
00:01:29
corpulent gentleman with an opulent beard
00:01:32
tutelary figure of Breton regionalism
00:01:35
was called Anatole le Braz
00:01:37
he had been a teacher 7 Anatole before
00:01:41
rising to the rank of professor at the
00:01:43
Faculty of Letters from Rennes I can
00:01:45
assure you that the Bretons
00:01:46
fortunately have not forgotten all the
00:01:48
benefits they owe to it
00:01:49
anatole le braz and crisis is the forest of
00:01:52
brocéliande and the last kingdom of
00:01:55
fairyland remained on earth when they
00:01:58
identify it with the name the forest of
00:02:00
paimpol 7 brocéliande remains in any case
00:02:04
the kingdom of fairies and elves of
00:02:06
knights in sparkling armor of
00:02:08
witches with infinite hair
00:02:11
magical forest with fountains of eternal youth
00:02:14
with living trees obviously speaking
00:02:17
almost forest populated with symbols and
00:02:20
spells
00:02:21
we are going to venture there later in the
00:02:23
footsteps of a repository of
00:02:25
secrets and legends of Brocéliande and
00:02:28
beyond all of Brittany of yesteryear
00:02:30
but before this inspired stroll
00:02:33
I would like you to count one of the most famous
00:02:35
stories most emblematic of this
00:02:37
armoric folklore this story I
00:02:40
discovered them late myself
00:02:42
during a filming that I
00:02:44
carried out for television in the island
00:02:45
of Ouessant
00:02:46
five or six years ago now from that
00:02:49
we were received there you have to imagine an
00:02:51
evening like one can find on these
00:02:53
Breton islands, a very foggy dark evening
00:02:55
full of drizzle we were
00:02:57
received in an old fisherman's house
00:02:59
these houses which tend which still have their
00:03:01
bed closed and the repatriation this we
00:03:04
were squeezed on a bench like
00:03:06
hypnotized by the spinners who for the
00:03:08
camera obviously turned their distaff in front of
00:03:11
us and we listened open-
00:03:13
mouthed to the breath of them hanging
00:03:16
we listened to the falsely hesitant deep voice
00:03:19
of a local storyteller
00:03:21
and outside there was the sound of the wind
00:03:24
whispering from the sea which only added
00:03:26
to the magic of the vigil in
00:03:29
the mouth of this Breton storyteller
00:03:31
the story of the city 10 city swallowed up
00:03:35
by the waves took on
00:03:37
hallucinatory accents I should have recorded it and
00:03:40
we did in part for TV
00:03:43
but I don't know what became of this
00:03:44
document very modestly I will
00:03:46
simply try to give you
00:03:48
this story Franck Ferrand on
00:03:53
Europe 1
00:03:54
heart of history and we
00:03:55
offer you today over a meal a
00:03:57
dive into the legendary landscape of
00:03:59
brittany franck once upon a time there was a
00:04:02
marvelous holy city with
00:04:05
perfect walls which isolated it from the world
00:04:07
this dream city had been built so
00:04:10
close to the sea that it was impossible
00:04:12
to dissociate it from it only if we were
00:04:16
not otherwise if we had not had this
00:04:18
enormous dike
00:04:19
the city would probably have been flooded
00:04:22
the dike of which I speak and is
00:04:24
admirably masonry the strong locks
00:04:28
which were very watertight locks
00:04:29
the locks of this work titanic
00:04:32
was locked by a device of which
00:04:35
only the sovereign had the keys
00:04:36
so of which sovereign what I
00:04:39
spoke well this city was under the
00:04:42
reign of Granon Gradlon of high memory
00:04:46
king of Cornwall whose
00:04:48
natural authority imposed on everyone except his
00:04:51
daughter the beautiful the whimsical
00:04:52
the irresistible is what others
00:04:54
call d'agde
00:04:56
this radiant princess was born from the
00:04:59
love of the king with a fairy a fairy
00:05:01
met during a campaign towards the
00:05:03
north of all the radiant pageantry of
00:05:06
those who They admired, to put it bluntly,
00:05:09
what had neyret retained first
00:05:10
the abundant profusion of hair the
00:05:12
color of old aure
00:05:14
but with the wavy softness of the
00:05:17
finest silk six as presented the
00:05:20
perfect and chaste exterior of a young
00:05:23
girl with above all suspicion
00:05:25
the truth of his conduct was less
00:05:27
pure and the best informed of the
00:05:29
inhabitants said they told but if they
00:05:32
lowered the way to do so
00:05:33
told stories of festivals of
00:05:36
excesses which little by little gave the
00:05:39
people licentious ideas
00:05:41
the king gradlon could not remain
00:05:44
inert as these
00:05:47
bad rumors spread, they no longer really knew
00:05:49
which saint to turn to so he
00:05:51
resorted to the advice
00:05:53
of his cousin Guénolé ab de
00:05:57
landévennec, the brave pastor did his best to
00:06:00
reason with the lost sheep he preached
00:06:05
serves mona in flat to the most
00:06:07
sacred duties but nothing did more gueénolé
00:06:10
to rise against the essays the excesses of the
00:06:12
subjects 10 and against those of their
00:06:14
princesses and more and proposals were
00:06:16
ridiculed at the at the end furious to
00:06:19
see his breasts of speech flouted the abbot
00:06:22
became threatening he predicted the loss
00:06:24
of the city before three days at the
00:06:26
third crow of the rooster
00:06:28
or by dint of tempting the devil with his
00:06:32
misconduct the princess had ended up
00:06:35
meeting him and by allowing herself to be
00:06:36
circumvented, this beautiful woman did not know how to
00:06:40
resist the pressing demands of the
00:06:43
evil one and she did not take long to
00:06:45
give in to him; she went, it is said, at night
00:06:48
to her father's apartments,
00:06:50
entering on tiptoe in the
00:06:52
room where gradlon slept reached the
00:06:55
chest where he kept the insignia of
00:06:57
power and the keys to the famous locks
00:07:00
she grabbed it leaving the room and
00:07:03
her heart beating with fear and
00:07:05
excitement but ran them to carry her
00:07:07
innocence this the goal a little ran to take
00:07:11
the keys to the one who had become his
00:07:14
master to the devil the king gradlon awakened
00:07:18
with a start by the terrible cries of the
00:07:21
inhabitants of the low streets of the
00:07:23
low streets already swept away ravaged by the
00:07:26
raging waves the king understood the extent of the
00:07:29
damage
00:07:30
the floodgates had been opened by the
00:07:33
devil he jumped on the first mount he
00:07:35
found and through the pond his castle
00:07:37
tried to flee at full gallop he had
00:07:40
not left the walls that his miserable
00:07:42
daughter the poor one was tossed by the tide
00:07:45
20 passed within his reach she managed to
00:07:47
hold on to the harness of her easel
00:07:49
devoured this time with fear and remorse
00:07:51
begged leroy her father to save her of
00:07:55
course king gradlon was just but he
00:07:58
was a father too he took pity on his
00:08:02
daughter he lending a strong hand
00:08:04
he made her ride behind him in a
00:08:06
group then the horse, as if
00:08:09
suddenly shaken by the weight of the princess,
00:08:11
began to waver, seemingly guénolé who
00:08:13
from a makeshift boat begged
00:08:15
his royal cousin to get rid
00:08:17
of the demon that he hipped door gradlon
00:08:20
hesitant does not know what to answer
00:08:23
they remain forbidden but guénolé
00:08:25
manages to approach the young girl
00:08:27
and only touching her with the tip of his
00:08:30
pastoral staff deprives her of all strength
00:08:33
and all spring he condemns her to sink
00:08:37
into the waves or legend has it
00:08:39
that she became mermaid gradlon alone to
00:08:43
line up to escape burial
00:08:45
10 moore nevertheless has sorrow guénolé
00:08:49
will have him buried at the monastery of
00:08:51
landévennec as for the city say those
00:08:53
who believe in his damnation are
00:08:55
also certain that 'it still exists as
00:08:57
I speak to you well and truly
00:08:59
masonry in the bottom of the sea
00:09:00
somewhere in the bay of douarnenez
00:09:03
franck ferrand on europe 1
00:09:07
yesterday of history
00:09:08
it is a retransmitt on a
00:09:10
meal l history the legend of the
00:09:11
sunken city 10 street yes this city say
00:09:14
that they are said to be
00:09:16
somewhere in the bay of douarnenez between trustees
00:09:18
and red bull said moreover that every
00:09:20
year at christmas the bay of landévennec
00:09:22
continues to be there celebrate midnight mass
00:09:24
in front of some repentant ray ghosts
00:09:28
unless unless the legend is a
00:09:31
little different and clearly more
00:09:33
historical
00:09:34
some in fact assert that the good
00:09:36
guénolé did not come alone to earth
00:09:38
seventeen evangelists were
00:09:41
accompanied by 'another Corentin they
00:09:43
will become for the church Saint-Guénolé
00:09:44
and Saint Corentin
00:09:45
as for King Gradlon concerned about
00:09:48
freedom of conscience he would have imposed
00:09:50
in 7 years Payen he would have imposed on the two
00:09:53
missionaries to build their church
00:09:55
outside the walls of the city only
00:09:57
after some time the emperor of rome
00:09:58
having converted he would have demanded
00:10:00
jointly with the pope that the great
00:10:02
the magnificent that the exemplary city
00:10:05
of ys converted in turn and at that
00:10:08
time rome demanded that a church be
00:10:10
built in the walls then the
00:10:13
princess is what others
00:10:15
call daoud would have gone to
00:10:17
the hills which since bears her name
00:10:19
in the mountains of arrée for nothing to cry
00:10:21
the help of the Celtic god cern a rise
00:10:24
the great god with the horns de Cerny
00:10:27
Most promises the princess that he will save
00:10:29
the city and this is what he does in his own
00:10:32
way when at night he triggers
00:10:34
the incredible storm which sees the coastline
00:10:36
changed and the marvelous city disappear
00:10:39
intact into the floods to King Gradlon
00:10:42
survivors and to the two future saints
00:10:44
will return the merit of going to found in
00:10:47
the lands the city of Quimper
00:10:48
unless unless another version
00:10:51
is preferable but for my
00:10:54
part I will stop there if you
00:10:55
you understand that these
00:10:58
legends are changing, malleable,
00:11:00
evolving that they are perhaps also
00:11:02
the mirrors of the eras which constituted them
00:11:04
to tell you the truth
00:11:06
the legend of city 10 undoubtedly transmitted
00:11:09
for a very long time has not been
00:11:11
laid down on paper that at the beginning of the
00:11:12
17th century in the famous history of
00:11:15
Brittany by Pierre Lebeau this
00:11:17
legend
00:11:18
leaves me in truth that very few
00:11:20
traces subsequently we have to wait until the
00:11:22
middle of the 19th century for it to
00:11:24
really reappear and it It was in 1926 that he
00:11:27
only heard yesterday that Charles
00:11:29
Guyot would give him his letters of
00:11:32
nobility Europe 1 Franck
00:11:38
a listener who has a very
00:11:40
Breton name and I can't give you her
00:11:43
name but I assure you that it's a
00:11:44
beautiful name. time to
00:11:46
point out to me that my tongue was forked and that
00:11:48
I apparently spoke of the forest of Paimpol
00:11:49
it is the forest of Paimpont which
00:11:51
obviously had to be heard is precisely to
00:11:54
guide us in this thick and
00:11:56
dark forest full of extraordinary
00:11:59
luminous mystery too in places
00:12:00
we found a wonderful guide
00:12:03
it's claudine glot thank you very much
00:12:06
for being with us you know we can
00:12:07
say that you are at home in the
00:12:09
forest of brocéliande golino
00:12:11
some time ago already eight hairs that I
00:12:13
try to feel at home but you
00:12:15
know all the forests are a little
00:12:16
bit the same mystery we know them and from one
00:12:20
day to the next we know them no more and
00:12:21
they are never yes that's it they
00:12:23
are never the same
00:12:24
it changes one hour to the next
00:12:26
then depending on the light on everything
00:12:28
we think of ourselves as very knowledgeable guides for
00:12:30
this father and I believe that it is very
00:12:31
happy to get lost in a forest
00:12:33
because we have sensations of
00:12:34
feelings outside of the common and gets lost
00:12:37
in a legendary forest of which we
00:12:39
all know the dream farm of 2.2 charm
00:12:42
of worry also that it can arouse
00:12:44
it is absolutely vital I believe
00:12:47
nowadays it is a feeling that we need
00:12:48
then Later we are going to
00:12:50
walk with you in this
00:12:52
forest of Brocéliande
00:12:53
but first I would like us to conclude
00:12:55
the question of this legendary city 10
00:12:58
even the great Breton myth that
00:13:01
we find in the stained glass windows of the churches that
00:13:03
we even find on the placemats of
00:13:05
restaurants finally really this
00:13:07
sunken city is a is a major element
00:13:10
of the oral heritage of Brittany
00:13:12
or it is this one it is a legend which
00:13:16
was forged late very late or washed
00:13:18
very very well explained the history of
00:13:20
this legend with the first
00:13:22
relatively late texts what we do not forget
00:13:24
is that its first texts
00:13:25
themselves take up stories from
00:13:28
Brittany a story in the Middle Ages it
00:13:31
is not from history history
00:13:33
science does not exist and
00:13:35
still tells a story
00:13:36
historians are also poets and
00:13:38
singers of a time when two or
00:13:40
a king so I told less these
00:13:42
two versions that of the storyteller
00:13:44
of the the island of Ouessant and then that can
00:13:46
be more historical who would like to
00:13:48
place this in the evangelization of
00:13:51
Gaul and Brittany in particular
00:13:52
but if there are still other
00:13:56
versions of the city dweller yes there are
00:13:58
other versions because 'there are
00:14:00
piats plays 19th century
00:14:02
Breton quite long there are tastes r
00:14:04
you know these Champs Elysées the famous
00:14:06
song recorded by the city marked
00:14:10
in the Barzaz Breizh that a little bit the
00:14:11
founding text of the poetry
00:14:13
Breton from ancient times he adheres to it
00:14:15
there are always versions of the city
00:14:17
of Ys since there is therefore the piece of
00:14:20
Michel Lebris froze there in the hands
00:14:22
the piece of Michel Le Bris it is called
00:14:23
hisse therefore there is healthy for
00:14:26
crossword lovers I think it is well
00:14:28
known in the rumor of the waves it is
00:14:30
published by artus which version does
00:14:33
he give us michel to risk your
00:14:34
co author elsewhere and in Aquitaine
00:14:36
not co-author or with whom I have worked a lot
00:14:38
yes gives us a version very inspired
00:14:39
by the 19th century and you have also clearly underlined
00:14:42
that the final form was
00:14:44
made in the 19th and 20th with this guillot
00:14:46
so what we are waiting for in the search we do
00:14:48
not know very well where he after these
00:14:49
sources
00:14:50
but we still know that we do
00:14:52
n't really have to look for
00:14:53
historicity so we learn it point
00:14:55
by point we realize that grin long we
00:14:57
don't have much about him
00:14:58
we say of him that he was the son of the
00:15:00
great founding king of
00:15:02
continental Brittany conan meriadeck of whom we know
00:15:04
even less
00:15:05
all that these are legendary figures
00:15:07
and that is where we are going from history
00:15:09
needs to lighten it this character daes
00:15:10
or da u which is a major character
00:15:13
who is the heart in celebration of lightening it
00:15:15
speaking the heart of the legion and it is
00:15:17
a legend that we will find in
00:15:18
Wales has the same type in
00:15:20
Wales in Ireland it is always a
00:15:22
king's daughter who has custody of a
00:15:24
fountain who is in one way or
00:15:26
another
00:15:27
not necessarily with a handsome devil
00:15:28
elsewhere and who at one time or
00:15:30
another left her country be swallowed up
00:15:33
but when we read the legend with the
00:15:35
keys a little bit of the mythology of the
00:15:37
myth behind in fact we
00:15:38
realize that we are at the moment where we change
00:15:40
that we told you about religion and
00:15:41
where the woman c 'is the woman from the other
00:15:44
world it's a loss she's a person
00:15:45
who has a charge of divinities she must
00:15:47
step aside and he feels the legend of the
00:15:49
city say in fact we tell you what is
00:15:51
she becomes she does not die
00:15:52
she becomes a mermaid and she becomes
00:15:54
eternal
00:15:55
but she no longer has first place and
00:15:57
it is no longer even bold the umq in
00:15:58
first place is corentin gainot
00:16:00
so there we completely erase the
00:16:02
growing old a threat in the
00:16:04
martyrology and the king himself must
00:16:07
give up his place the most important thing is
00:16:09
the saint and the legend tells us all
00:16:11
that too while listening to you claudine glot
00:16:13
I think of some of our listeners
00:16:14
who wrote to me to tell me ah when
00:16:16
will you tell us about the legendary
00:16:17
city 10 I hope they are
00:16:19
satisfied until 2 p.m. on Europe 1
00:16:22
dive into the heart of history
00:16:25
with Franck Ferrand the tales and
00:16:26
legends of Brittany are in the spotlight
00:16:28
today 'today on europe 1 to talk about it
00:16:29
frankly that you receive the specialist in
00:16:31
the Arthurian legend claudine glot and
00:16:33
you can see julia that the tablet
00:16:35
in vahid work signed claudine glot the
00:16:38
least we can say is that you
00:16:39
have written a lot about the subject and
00:16:41
present albums, some of which are
00:16:42
sumptuous gelas Celtic countries with secret places and
00:16:45
paths at éditions
00:16:46
Ouest-France you also publish a
00:16:48
certain number of novels we will come to that
00:16:51
later on the Arthurian legend
00:16:53
you are at the origin of the creation of the
00:16:55
center of the Arthurian imagination where
00:16:58
does this passion come from for for
00:17:00
merlin for viviane and for arthur
00:17:03
originally it is a passion for the
00:17:04
legendary in general I did not know
00:17:06
when I was when I was a kid but
00:17:07
it was always this kind of story where the
00:17:09
most fantastic stories
00:17:10
possible which when I was young is
00:17:13
not so easy to find today
00:17:14
fantasy we see everywhere we ran
00:17:16
after it and we got it tasted with great
00:17:17
pleasure and the legends and even
00:17:19
somewhere and that I say sometimes
00:17:21
with a little embarrassment even religion did not exist
00:17:23
had the same effect it was
00:17:26
a magical story it's this evening
00:17:27
others no it's It is true that with the wave
00:17:30
in particular of video games,
00:17:32
the Arthurian legend is
00:17:34
very popular today and then the big
00:17:35
TV series etc.
00:17:36
Merlin has become a sort
00:17:39
of idol of youth whereas for a
00:17:41
very long time it was more the case of the
00:17:42
very first of all it was no longer the case of the whole
00:17:44
in addition during the medieval period
00:17:45
merlin is not necessarily the person in
00:17:47
whom we are most interested in who is
00:17:49
half he is still the son of the
00:17:50
devil in the official version and
00:17:52
in any case it is a character who
00:17:54
has neither origin nor death so it is
00:17:56
not really normal so we
00:17:58
actually see that in each generation in
00:18:00
each period we are interested in the
00:18:01
legend we focus on something else that is
00:18:03
quite strong, it gives the impression of a
00:18:05
sort of big gap and I love this
00:18:08
phenomenon because we are at the same time very
00:18:10
far away in a time which is even even
00:18:12
more distant than historical reality
00:18:14
since there is something very
00:18:15
archaic which undoubtedly takes us back to the
00:18:17
protohistoric periods before the
00:18:20
Celts, even probable in the sands and then
00:18:22
there is something very modern,
00:18:24
almost futuristic with the heroic
00:18:25
fantasy and that's what projects us
00:18:27
into a form of science fiction the
00:18:28
real legs that's what the real
00:18:29
legends are totally malleable because
00:18:30
the discourse or at least the images
00:18:33
that it sends back to us is readaptable to
00:18:35
each period and the legend
00:18:36
me I deeply believe that people
00:18:38
need legend and in the book
00:18:40
that you have in your hands michel
00:18:42
lebris and an afterword which is called
00:18:44
the news of legends in times of
00:18:46
crisis and I believe that we cannot
00:18:47
find something better than this necessity merlin
00:18:49
viviane arthur guenièvre and the others
00:18:51
or something to tell us either to
00:18:53
help us or to distract us from
00:18:55
doing something and above all they
00:18:58
tell us that we are not in a
00:18:59
finite time that we is in an
00:19:01
infinite time which is another world that we can
00:19:03
reach there completely other than by
00:19:05
death it is still rather pleasant
00:19:07
and that the airlock of these worlds well
00:19:09
they are the heights the magical waters of
00:19:11
the sea or fresh waters and their
00:19:13
forests on and the forests then the forest
00:19:15
of brocéliande is what we can be
00:19:18
sure that it is precisely in
00:19:20
paimpont is what it is the end is what
00:19:22
it really is the forest of paimpont
00:19:23
is -what we could not place and
00:19:24
elsewhere but there were lots of people
00:19:27
who placed it elsewhere and you knew
00:19:28
live a great sense the forest as
00:19:30
unfortunately many others burn
00:19:31
regularly and when the forest in 90
00:19:34
had burned the people's question is
00:19:35
if the forest burned what the legend
00:19:36
remains but we have known for example
00:19:39
thinking about the Celtic immigration was
00:19:41
very abundant in the 18th and 19th centuries
00:19:43
towards the United States
00:19:44
jean of his party in the boats with
00:19:46
the poor Irish or Scots
00:19:47
chased from their lands if one day god
00:19:50
god you wish that doesn't happen
00:19:51
but if if brocéliande disappears I
00:19:53
think we will find another one
00:19:54
that said to still answer
00:19:56
your question the signs the few
00:19:58
lessines that are quite thin 1 that
00:20:00
we tell us well that
00:20:02
Brocéliande without the themes of the 12th
00:20:03
century process you need to talk
00:20:05
about the main author cause is at the
00:20:07
court of Eleanor of Aquitaine and Henry
00:20:09
of the court of the girl especially the daughter
00:20:11
Marie of France was not the poet
00:20:13
the daughter of Eleanor and the King of France
00:20:15
since she only had daughters with him
00:20:18
7this maric exposed the Count of
00:20:21
Champagne great court very rich have
00:20:23
not too no but that is not is one of the
00:20:25
authors and Christian of Troyes and
00:20:26
Christian of Troyes will seize 7
00:20:28
Arthurian meters which until then is
00:20:30
conveyed orally by trouvères or
00:20:33
by bards since they are people
00:20:34
of very great cultures who travel
00:20:36
throughout Europe and he will write at
00:20:39
the request of Marie de France
00:20:40
the first novels which means that at
00:20:42
the same time he will bring us all
00:20:43
this Celtic legend and he will give
00:20:45
the major form of what is
00:20:47
still our literature today.
00:20:49
is still very extraordinary
00:20:51
when you think about it the base is the base
00:20:53
where this is the base from which all the
00:20:54
others stole he himself aspired
00:20:57
from a certain number of sources although he
00:20:59
had a lot of sources but
00:21:00
it was oral so we are still
00:21:02
in the speculation and it is even a little
00:21:04
miraculous knowing his name because
00:21:06
we practically have the author do not sign
00:21:07
the author was like an artisan an
00:21:10
anonymous of course and simply a Christian
00:21:12
from Troyes gives us very
00:21:13
precious things in the forest of brocéliande
00:21:15
baiia 1 Anglo-Saxon authors before him
00:21:18
who speak about it which is called law is
00:21:19
that they immediately speak of the forest
00:21:21
as the place where we see the facts
00:21:23
I have in my hands
00:21:25
a work by Claude Art which is called
00:21:26
one of his works is called Journey to
00:21:28
Mysterious France published by
00:21:30
Pré aux Clercs it is coming out at the beginning of
00:21:31
the year it is fascinating like all
00:21:33
books by Claude Art and he tells us
00:21:36
the possibility that Robert Howe is
00:21:40
rather talking about Normandy and and we
00:21:43
could have placed this
00:21:45
brocéliande forest rather among the Normans which is
00:21:47
not to displease the Normans
00:21:48
I come in addition good red room like
00:21:51
me I am from Aquitaine I do
00:21:53
not intend to turn around
00:21:54
today it is to learn will
00:21:56
not succeed this very first thing
00:21:58
of which I told you we could
00:21:59
actually find traces both
00:22:01
me which me leans towards Paimpont
00:22:04
it is still Christian from Troyes who
00:22:05
says that the forest of Brocéliande and in
00:22:06
Little Brittany
00:22:07
good even if the limits have varied towards
00:22:10
the east seven years Little Brittany it is a
00:22:12
long and wide forest and above all it
00:22:14
locates well the barenton fountain with
00:22:16
these particularly marvelous prodigies we
00:22:18
will discover this fountain in a
00:22:20
moment and we will at the same
00:22:21
time get to know the fairy
00:22:23
viviane
00:22:25
history on europe 1 it is with franck
00:22:28
ferrand
00:22:29
[Music]
00:23:14
1
00:23:18
agnus dei excalibur composed by fabrice
00:23:21
aboulker frankel excalibur it is therefore this
00:23:23
show which will be given at the stadium of
00:23:26
france very great show missed by
00:23:28
robert hossein we had the opportunity to
00:23:30
talk about it on this antenna even with the
00:23:33
designers of the show is also the
00:23:36
historical advisor because that they
00:23:37
have they have done enormous work on
00:23:38
the Arthurian legend our mental friends
00:23:40
it is therefore the I believe that it will be
00:23:42
Saturday in Levante 4-1 next Saturday September 24th
00:23:45
I believe that there are
00:23:47
places left so don't don't hesitate then this
00:23:50
Arthurian legend you talk to us let
00:23:51
's return to the fountain precisely at the
00:23:54
base but who likes the
00:23:57
Neolithic cult sites I am served there we
00:24:01
can say in the heart of this forest the bear
00:24:02
eliandre describe there to us perhaps
00:24:04
claudine glot the barenton fountain
00:24:06
in the Arthurian legend especially in
00:24:08
Brocéliande we must always think that
00:24:10
things are the opposite of their reputation
00:24:11
and that the greatest reputation are
00:24:14
very simple objects or sites and
00:24:16
I believe that although modest in addition
00:24:17
to a very modest very moving very
00:24:19
moved that's precisely why they are
00:24:21
moving because putting everything into
00:24:23
perspective and it brings you back to the basics and
00:24:25
barenton it's exactly that goes back to
00:24:27
barenton we hope that she will blow her
00:24:29
famous bubbles there that's is bull which brings
00:24:31
good luck which tells the future sometimes does
00:24:33
not do them we are upset and barenton
00:24:35
it is the meeting place of merlin de
00:24:37
viviane it is really the the inhabited place
00:24:39
and in the same way since by the two
00:24:42
very sites ancient the other attributes it
00:24:44
to the fairy Viviane it is a stone circle
00:24:46
from the Neolithic a fairly rare shape
00:24:48
quite rare in Brittany quite rare even
00:24:50
rarer in the forest of Brocéliande
00:24:51
names which have been attributed we no
00:24:53
longer know when we do not have in being a father in
00:24:56
rural countries we have no writing we are
00:24:57
not worried like this fairy viviane
00:24:59
viviane it's a little bit it's a
00:25:01
little bit the same case as our ace dâwûd
00:25:04
these are fakes they are always
00:25:06
hybrids of creatures who are born from the
00:25:09
love of a human and a fairy more
00:25:11
rarely the reverse although it can
00:25:13
happen and as a result they are
00:25:15
never completely adapted they have
00:25:17
powers but not totally
00:25:18
and they need special places
00:25:21
the city of 'ys for one the forest of
00:25:23
brocéliande for the other besides
00:25:24
the legend of brocéliande tells you
00:25:26
viviane does not have the right to leave the
00:25:28
forest her godmother who is the goddess
00:25:30
diane el hocine ds of the forests elsewhere
00:25:32
her godmother gave her three gifts at
00:25:35
her birth which are the love of merlin
00:25:37
the beauty and the remarkable knowledge of
00:25:39
knowing it is rare for a girl at
00:25:41
the time plays an essential role all
00:25:43
these female figures in the hour one
00:25:44
site yes in fact we do not
00:25:46
realize because we first have a
00:25:47
very image and battleships armed with great
00:25:49
horses of fights afterwards we think of
00:25:52
devils of dragons but those who
00:25:54
know those who have the power between
00:25:56
the hands the one who directs destiny are
00:25:58
always women and we talked about
00:25:59
viviane vivienne and assimilates to the lady
00:26:01
of the lake ans the lady of the lake it is she who
00:26:03
will give the p o king arthur
00:26:04
so it is she who will make him king in the
00:26:06
end merlin leads but it is
00:26:09
the lady of the lake i gives the sword and at the end
00:26:11
of the story the pairs turn hand of the lady of the
00:26:13
lake and who comes to get the dying king arthur
00:26:15
it is his sister morgan which will
00:26:17
keep him in survival so the entire
00:26:19
destiny of the knights of the soul of the
00:26:22
world of the round table is in fact taken
00:26:24
in the hands of these two often
00:26:26
antagonistic facts a little bit water and
00:26:27
fire a merlin in there plays the referees in
00:26:30
merlin i love this character and at the same
00:26:34
time mayor has merlin done what can
00:26:36
because mr the aed is constrained in many
00:26:38
ways
00:26:39
merlin must tell destiny I
00:26:41
cannot change it merlin has a role to play
00:26:44
fill but will be sacrificed he will
00:26:46
find himself a prisoner to the prisoner for
00:26:48
love there is perhaps worse but he is
00:26:50
still imprisoned in the
00:26:51
merlane forest and has
00:26:53
extraordinary powers and cannot
00:26:55
exercise them comically but she has a
00:26:56
Cassandra side exactly what 'they see what is
00:26:59
going to go wrong but he cannot
00:27:00
prevent it the man of nature at the same
00:27:02
time he takes on various appearances you
00:27:04
show him constantly changing
00:27:08
then that is what the Middle Ages
00:27:09
moving appeal under the walls of messaging and
00:27:11
her lot remains very astonishing
00:27:12
because today with the sons we are
00:27:14
accustomed to magic a little bit
00:27:16
thunderous backfiring smoking merlin
00:27:19
such a strong magic which does not even
00:27:20
need that it still exists
00:27:22
in the moment he makes a gesture and he has
00:27:25
another formula and serves he and trees and
00:27:27
rocks he is a little boy he
00:27:29
is an old man and it is only the
00:27:31
king who knows how to recognize himself more or less
00:27:34
Merlin's appearances but that was
00:27:36
Merlin deal sees the future sees
00:27:38
hidden things so the past Merlin
00:27:41
transforms and Merlin transports himself very
00:27:44
quickly more quickly people what
00:27:46
is in this Celtic world and which
00:27:49
obviously speaks a lot to our time
00:27:51
I was going to talk about ecology the word is
00:27:53
obviously very anachronistic but in
00:27:55
any case it is a permanent attention
00:27:57
to nature to its messages to its
00:28:00
symbols to the force that it transmits and
00:28:03
I think that there are two reasons to this
00:28:04
first of all a reason which is common
00:28:06
is that homo time where to slip away when
00:28:08
we are not extremely powerfully in the
00:28:10
rhythm of nature think of famines
00:28:12
think of droughts well that's not
00:28:14
a part of the world it 'it's everyone
00:28:15
who dies in this case not to eat but
00:28:17
actually behind that there is this
00:28:18
very old Celtic tradition which is
00:28:20
the unity of humans with nature there is
00:28:22
no man on one side who governs
00:28:24
nature there there we are all we are all
00:28:27
part of the same living being is one of the
00:28:29
powers of berlin is that they
00:28:31
speak directly to nature he perceives
00:28:33
its language he speaks to animals he can
00:28:36
therefore act as this intermediary between the
00:28:38
world of men which is in in the process of
00:28:39
detaching itself from nature and can be seen very
00:28:41
clearly in John Boorman's film, very
00:28:43
clearly explained and Merlin is
00:28:45
still at the stage where when man
00:28:47
the Lafleur bird was only raying that
00:28:49
death was only a dream trick
00:28:52
asks us if with the lord of the rings
00:28:54
tolkien was inspired by the
00:28:56
Arthurian legend obviously but we are
00:28:58
precisely in a grandiloquence in
00:29:00
a very pale monument very
00:29:02
impressive character which moves away from the
00:29:04
concrete poetry of this world it is louis
