The Val sans retour reverses the roles of chivalry

The Val sans retour is an Arthurian upside-down world imagined by the fairy Morgan le Fay to sequester unfaithful lovers. In this enclosed space with invisible walls, knights are deprived of action and kept prisoner by the women they have betrayed. This spectacular magical creation routs hundreds of valiant knights, according to the analyses of Laurence Harf-Lancner and Carolyne Larrington.
