The Grand Breteche

The old, abandoned manor of La Grande Bretèche stands between the trees like a secret. Uncovered one day by Dr. Horace Bianchon while visiting the nearby town of Vendôme, the ruins will beckon any wandering visitor in. Full of intrigue, the doctor simply can' t resist entering the house. But night after night, he fails. Why can\' t La Grande Bretèche be accessed? And what do the locals know about this mysterious shelter? Adapted into 3 films, 2 episodes, an opera, and a BBC Radio 4 play, Balzac\' s gripping \' The Human Comedy\' short story, \' The Grand Bretèche´, is ideal for fans of Xavier Giannolli' s 2021 \' Lost Illusions\' film.
