La Grande Breteche is a short story by Honore de Balzac published in 1831. It is one of the Scenes de la vie privee of La Comedie humaine. Dr. Horace Bianchon discovers near the town of Vendome an abandoned manor: La Grande Breteche. Intrigued by the ruins, the doctor tries unsuccessfully to enter the house night after night. Upon returning to the inn where he is staying, he questions the locals about the house. Finally several locals, including a lawyer and the innkeeper, explain the story of the manor.
