The Grand Breteche

The old, abandoned manor of La Grande Breteche stands between the trees like a secret. Uncovered one day by Dr. Horace Bianchon whilst 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 Breteche be accessed? And what do the locals know of 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 Breteche´, is ideal for fans of Xavier Giannolli\'s 2021 \'Lost Illusions\' film.
