  THE FAIRY TALES
  The 13th century troubadour Raimon d'Avinhon fell into a time tunnel that accidentally brought him to our time. To survive in the 21st century, he continues to play his instruments that miraculously followed him while telling his life story. But Raimon is a resourceful being who will adapt easily using his instruments.
  The stories draw their inspiration directly from the writings of the Troubadours of the 12th and 13th centuries, especially those left by Raimon d'Avinhon, «Sirvens sui avutz et arlots...», in which the poet recounts all the trades he had to perform before becoming Troubadour.
