The so-called "role of customs" in the works of Chrétien de Troyes was not fully detailed by E. Köhler. In this article on the Charrete, the customs of Logres and Gorre are revealed as determinants of the work's comprehensive structuration and meaning. A customal intrigue opens the romance, which is prolonged by deferral of definitive resolution of all juridical conflicts until the end of the narrative trajectory. Closure is achieved by customal logic as it governs the logic of events while ensuring the ultimate openness of the love intrigue. The magnitude of Chrétien's fictive use of customs stems from their being deconstructed so that their apparently absolute necessity no less than their ceaselessly potential inadequacy may constitute the primary paradox around which the romance constructs its meaning.
