LE CONTE PROVENÇAL

Calendal (ou, en provençal : Calendau), jeune et vaillant pĂȘcheur de Cassis, est aussi un marin intrĂ©pide. Un jour, sur les pentes sauvages du mont Gibal, il aperçoit une jeune femme d’une beautĂ© envoĂ»tante et magique, que les gens du pays croient ĂȘtre une fĂ©e. Parvenu jusqu’à elle, il dĂ©couvre qu’elle se nomme EstĂ©relle et qu’elle est la baronne d’Eiglun, derniĂšre hĂ©ritiĂšre d’une illustre famille princiĂšre des Baux, symbole jadis de la puissance et de la gloire de la Provence.

EstĂ©relle lui confie alors son tragique passĂ© : parmi les nombreux prĂ©tendants qui la courtisaient, elle avait choisi le comte SĂ©veran, sĂ©duit par son audace. Mais, le jour mĂȘme de leurs noces, une terrible vĂ©ritĂ© Ă©clate : SĂ©veran n’est qu’un chef de brigands, un aventurier cruel, coupable des pires crimes. HorrifiĂ©e, la jeune femme s’enfuit dans la montagne et trouve refuge sur le mont Gibal, oĂč Calendal la rencontre.

MalgrĂ© son amour pour EstĂ©relle, celle-ci refuse de s’engager, lui racontant son histoire pour justifier son refus. Calendal, dĂ©sespĂ©rĂ© mais dĂ©terminĂ©, dĂ©cide d’affronter SĂ©veran. Il part Ă  sa rencontre, se demandant comment un seul homme pourrait vaincre une armĂ©e de bandits. Pourtant, face Ă  son ennemi, il le provoque en lui racontant ses propres exploits, et surtout sa rencontre, sur le mont Gibal, avec une femme aussi belle qu’une fĂ©e

THE PROVENÇAL TALE

Calendal (or, in Provençal: Calendau), young and valiant fisherman of Cassis, is also an intrepid sailor. One day, on the wild slopes of Mount Gibal, he sees a young woman of enchanting and magical beauty, whom the locals believe to be a fairy. Having reached her, he discovers that she is called Esterelle and that she is the Baroness of Eiglun, the last heiress of an illustrious princely family of Les Baux, a symbol of the power and glory of Provence.

Esterelle then entrusts her past: among the many suitors who courted her, she had chosen Count Severan, seduced by her audacity. But on the very day of their wedding, a terrible truth breaks out: Severan is only a leader of robbers, a cruel adventurer, guilty of the worst crimes. Horrified, the young woman flees into the mountain and finds refuge on Mount Gibal, where Calendal meets her.

Despite her love for Esterelle, she refused to commit, telling her her story to justify her refusal. Calendal, desperate but determined, decides to face Severan. He goes to meet him, wondering how only one man could defeat an army of bandits. Yet, in front of his enemy, he provokes him by telling him his own exploits, and especially his encounter, on Mount Gibal, with a woman as beautiful as a fairy...
