Welcome to "Mysteries from here", the summer podcast series L'Eté dans vos ears devoted to extraordinary stories, tales and legends ... From Aix-en-Provence to Gauchin-Le-Gal via Rennes-le-Château, guides, historians and storytellers tell you the mysteries of our regions.
These stories bring together History, local identity, collective fears, sometimes desires ...
For this new episode, let's follow in the footsteps of the “beast of Gévaudan”. One or more animals, whose nature we still do not know precisely, are at the origin of a series of attacks against people between 1764 and 1767, in the former country of Gévaudan, in Lozère. Between 88 and 124 attacks, often fatal, were recorded, most often against children and adolescents. Gray areas surround this story, and many theories and controversies have developed about the "beast". This is what tells in this episode Valentine Schira, guide lecturer. The beast of Gévaudan has inspired many writings and films, and a museum in Haute-Loire bears his name.
