When the darkness invades the streets of Saint-Benoit, then arises, a special horse with white fur and shiny, sealed and bound - is the horse Mallet.
It comes at night for vagrants at night, makes them climb on his back and carries them into a frenzied stampede toward the kingdom of the dead ...
To protect themselves, then wear around his neck a medal of St. Benoist also called "Cross Stone" that repels negative influences.

Les Dames Blanches. At night it is said that fairies through pastures and crops, followed by floating above the canals taking in hand lighted candles to shine a thousand lights and the drops of wax fall on the white forelock and mane horses, to the surprise of some peasants discovered at dawn horses properly groomed ...

The Fradet. straight out of fairy tales, the elves are mischievous and malicious. They generally like to give back to the condition of not being seen. They protect the flock is still the fattest and most prosperous. But
night, observing the bustle a peasant in his fields, discovered the next day with amazement that his herd had dwindled.

Bunny smokes

is certainly the most enigmatic legend of St. Benedict.
is not known exactly its origin. Remember that St. Benoist was once a port and that the rabbit was far from being the favorite pet of the sailors. So why the rabbit smoking a pipe does it because it (and tobacco in this case) were not imported into France until well after the construction of the church.
The mystery remains unsolved.

Note : These legends are not the only haunt Saint-Benoist-sur-Mer, for more information you can come see us.
