A BRETON LEGEND ... IN A TIME OF CLIMATE CHANGE

Ker Iz in Breton, or Cité d'Ys in French, is a mythical city that was built on the coast of Brittany (Bay of Douarnenez) and later swallowed by the ocean. The legend said that Saint Gwenole went to see the king Gradlon and warned him about the sins being committed in the city, absorbed in luxury, debauchery and vanity. God warned Saint Gwenole that he was going to punish the city, and the Saint told the king to flee since God's wrath was about to fall upon the city. The king fled riding his horse. A storm fell upon the city and quickly inundated it. The main culprit was Princess Dahud, the king's indecent daughter, who had stolen the key, symbol of royalty, from around her father's neck.

There's another legend told in a Breton saying, says that when Paris is swallowed, the city of Ys will rise up from under the waves (In Breton, Par Is means "similar to Ys").

Pa vo beuzet Paris,
Ec'h adsavo Ker Is
(When Paris will be engulfed,
will re-emerge the City of Ys)
