Daniel Giraudon and Francis Favereau sit down at the Domaine départemental de la Roche-Jagu to talk about Jules Gros. He gave much of a very long life to noting the Breton spoken around him in Trégor, one turn of phrase at a time. The result, the monumental Trésor du breton parlé, is why his name still circulates among speakers of the language. The man who emerges from their recollections is a polyglot and a collector of the vernacular.
Jules Gros, une vie à l’écoute du breton populaire
Two linguists revisit the man who spent a lifetime writing down popular Breton as it was spoken across Trégor, turn of phrase by turn of phrase.
