Le Foyer breton (French pronunciation: [lə fwa.je bʁə.tɔ̃]; in English: The Breton Hearth, or The Breton Home; Breton: An Ti Breizh) is a collection of Breton stories by Émile Souvestre, written in French and published in 1844. This work is a collection of Breton folktales arranged by their place of origin. It was an immediate success, becoming the foremost work of prose narrative in Brittany and inspiring several of the writer Ernest du Laurens de la Barre's works. It has been republished several times.
