The text opens with a vivid description of a festive day in the town of Bayeux, filled with public celebrations in honor of Liberty, which is marked by the inauguration of significant monuments and the participation of various citizens. The narrative contrasts the public joy with the somber atmosphere of a nearby home, setting the stage for a story that intertwines themes of revolution, personal struggle, and societal division during a time of political tension. The opening of "Légendes Normandes" introduces us to the town of Bayeux, alive with excitement and patriotic fervor as the citizens celebrate the arrival of stones from the Bastille. Amidst the celebrations, we are introduced to a young girl named Marguerite and her elderly servant, Dominique, who are staying inside, reflecting the tension of the royalist sentiments clashing with revolutionary fervor. Marguerite, longing for freedom and excitement, expresses a desire to join the festivities, leading to plans that intertwine their fates with the tumultuous landscape of revolutionary France. We see initial elements of romance and danger as young men rally for liberty, hinting at complexities involving class and loyalty that will evolve throughout the narrative.
