The City of Ys

It is said that the city of Ys was the most beautiful city in the world and that Lutece was called Paris because "Par Ys" in Breton means "like Ys".

Two popular Breton proverbs testify that :

Abaoue ma beuzet Ker Is
N'eus kavet den par da Paris
Since was drowned the City of Ys
No one found an equal in Paris

Pa vo beuzet Paris
Ec'h adsavo Ker Is
When Paris will be engulfed
Will re-emerge the City of Ys

The legend says that the city of Ys was on the Bay of Douarnenez.
Pouldavid, is a place a few miles to the east of the town of Douarnenez.
Pouldavid is the French form of "Poul Dahut" in Breton, or the "Pool of Dahut." Said to be the place where the Princess Dahut, daughter of King Gradlon and Queen Malgven was engulfed by the waves to become a mermaid or morgen.
