The legends of Britanny.

Land of Druids and sorcerers, the forest is the land of Broceliande légends. Beware spells, listen to stories, enjoy the fabulous epics and leave with the secrets of this mythical place.

The forest of Broceliande BROCELIANDE

The Forest of Broceliande.

The famous site of the forest of Broceliande is the Val without Return : The Breton Legend tells, this is a succession of valleys and the fairy Morgane locks the unfaithful lovers in these valleys.

As a result of her enchantments , young knights lose the sense of reality and wander in these places without hope of return.

These spells were foiled by Lancelot who remained faithful to his love for Queen Guinevere.

This legendary place is near Fairy Mirror , a lake in which the fairies could read the future by throwing a grain of wheat , the colour of the lake is red because fairies died there.

According to the legend , Merlin the enchanter was imprisoned in the Valley , in an invisible prison of air , by the fairy Viviane.
