Workshop Nemorosa

"Attacked by brigands, he decided to take his companion Delia to a hidden cave in the forest to keep her out of harm's way. When the fighting was over, he returned to find her lifeless. Delia had just been bitten by a viper. He buried her, overcome with grief. Every night, he spent hours weeping on the rock. Until the evening when a young girl crowned with flowers and dressed in foliage appeared to him: her name was Nemorosa, the Queen of the Woods. She had come to console him.

The story goes that one fine autumn day they left the earth forever to celebrate their union somewhere in heaven, where happiness is eternal.

Since that day, Nemorosa has returned to help the lost walker find his way home."

(Anne Vallaeys, Fontainebleau, la forêt des passions)
