The story centers around significant spiritual and nationalistic themes, particularly exploring the deep emotional connection between individuals and sacred places, with a particular focus on the hill of Sion-Vaudémont in Lorraine, France. The opening introduces readers to the idea that there are locations that evoke intense spiritual feelings, where individuals can connect with larger truths about existence and the divine. The opening of the book sets a mystic tone, describing various sacred sites in France that evoke a sense of religious devotion and historical significance. The narrative connects these places to the land and people of Lorraine, specifically highlighting the hill of Sion-Vaudémont as a source of spiritual inspiration. It reflects on the vitality of these locations throughout history, exploring their impact on past figures such as Joan of Arc. The language is rich and poetic, invoking images that resonate with the idea of divine presence and the emotional landscape of the Lorraine region, while also introducing the characters of the Baillard brothers, who emerge later as pivotal in the renewal of the area's spiritual and cultural heritage.
