Description

Discover French folklore through almost sixty supernatural beings, mystical creatures and diabolical monsters. Thanks to the numerous beasts (Beast of Gévaudan, Beast of Angles, Beast of the Vosges, ...), werewolves (Ganipote, Leberou, ...) and various fantastic creatures that populate or used to populate our beautiful regions of France, take a leap into the fantastic past of our ancestors.

Rich in monsters of an educational nature or answering "an existential question", the French oral tradition allows to maintain a cultural identity supported by a mystical or legendary past. Even today, the hunting of the Bitard and the hunting of the Dahu continue thanks to the maintenance of our ancestral traditions. What would Tarascon be without the Tarasque? Brittany without its Korrigans? France without the Beast of Gévaudan? Our French folklore adds a pinch of the supernatural to our long medieval history.

This illustrated book is a real invitation to travel to the very heart of our beautiful country, with mysticism as strong as its Camembert and legends as sparkling as its champagne.
