The statue of the Beast of Gévaudan in Auvers commemorates Marie-Jeanne Vallet's fight against the Beast in 1765.
If we will surely never know the truth about the Beast, which has become a real myth, the attacks also stopped after an animal identified as a wolf was shot not far from here (at Sogne d'Auvers) by Jean Chastel .
