In Brocéliande there is a magical spring whose waters, when poured over the stone surrounding it, unleash storms.

Pursued in the castle, he falls in love with Laudine, widow of the vanquished, and will count on Lunette and on the loyalty of a lion.
Work from the Arthurian cycle by Chrétien de Troyes, composed in the 12th century. This school edition in French belongs to the Bibliocollège collection from Hachette Education.
Intended for school reading in secondary education and for anyone wishing to discover French Arthurian literature.
Chrétien de Troyes was a French poet and trouvère known for his writing on Arthurian subjects such as Gawain, Lancelot, Perceval, and the Holy Grail. Chrétien's chivalric romances, including Erec and Enide, Lancelot, Perceval, and Yvain, represent some of the best-regarded works of medieval literature. His use of structure, particularly in Yvain, has been seen as a step toward the modern novel.
