A Journey Through Realms

Our journey will take us across France's diverse landscapes:

We'll begin in Brittany, where Arthurian legends mingle with tales of korrigans (mischievous fairy-folk) and the Ankou (a personification of death). Moving to Normandy, we'll encounter Viking-influenced sagas and the maritime mysteries of the Channel coast.

In sunny Provence, we'll discover the fearsome Tarasque dragon and hear the songs of medieval troubadours. Alsace-Lorraine will reveal its Germanic fairy tale heritage and Christmas traditions. The Pyrenees will share Basque creation myths and tales of lamiak (nature spirits), while the Alps will introduce us to the White Ladies who haunt mountain passes.

On the island of Corsica, we'll learn about the mazzeri (dream-hunters) and the weight of vendetta in folk memory. Paris will reveal its revolutionary ghosts and modern urban legends, while the Loire Valley opens the doors to haunted châteaux and Renaissance magic.

We won't forget France's overseas territories, where Creole, Polynesian, and Kanak traditions create unique mythological blends. Finally, we'll explore how contemporary France continues to generate new myths and urban legends in an age of technology and globalization.
