Set in the early 19th century, the narrative follows Dr. Horace Bianchon as he becomes fascinated by the abandoned manor, La Grande Bretèche, near Vendôme. His attempts to explore the ruins lead him to engage with local residents, including a lawyer and an innkeeper, who unravel the manor's haunting history. The story delves into themes of curiosity, mystery, and the intertwining of personal and communal narratives, showcasing Balzac's exploration of human experience within his broader work, La Comédie humaine.
