Here are some creatures which are famous in French folklore. Please watch this video till the end please subscribe to my channel.

SOME MYTHOLOGICAL CREATURES OF FRANCE

LUTIN: There's bound to be a creature like this wherever you come from, so this isn't anything new. Dwarf, elf, fairy, gnome, imp, leprechaun, pixie, sprite, and several other terms are used to describe this form of hobgoblin in other cultures. However, the lutin is a character in Normandy folklore who can be either good or bad. Lutins, like their Anglo-Saxon counterparts, play a part in Christmas like the ones who support Père Nol.
TARASQUE: This legendary creature is said to have originated in the Nerluc region of Provence, and is essentially a mishmash of creature limbs and animal spare parts. It has the appearance of a dragon, but it has the head of a lion, three pairs of small bear-like legs, and the body of an ox covered in a turtle's shell. It also includes a scaly tale that concludes with a scorpion's tail. Of course, each component is built to maim—-or destroy, if you're fortunate enough to escape a horrifying, traumatized future. According to legend, the king of Nerluc fought the Tarasque with knights and arms, but it was only through prayers and hymns that Saint Martha was able to tame the beast. The townspeople killed the beast despite being tamed but later regretted it after Martha preached to them about Christianity. They renamed the town Tarascon in honor of the slain beast to make amends for their actions.
NAIN ROUGE: The Nain Rouge, or Red Dwarf, is a form of Lutin that hails from Normandy as well. This nasty little bugger, described as tiny and child-like with "blazing red eyes and long, rotten teeth," is not to be trifled with. His outfit is completed by red or black fur boots, but don't be fooled by the devilish grin. He's not just a trickster; he's often considered a "harbinger of doom."The Nain Rouge is well-known in Detroit, Michigan, and is often mentioned in urban legends. The Nain Rouge has been seen before major disastrous incidents such as the Battle of Bloody Run, the fire in 1805, the War of 1812, the 12th Street Riot in 1967, and the snowstorm in 1976, according to legend. In Michigan, there is currently an annual costumed parade that includes the burning of the effigy.
LOU CARCOLH: Let me introduce you to Lou. Lou isn't the normal, pleasant Lou you're used to seeing at work. This is the most terrifying Lou you'll ever meet. And he's a jerk. He's a giant serpent-like snail creature with long tentacles that hides underwater until he's ready to snap at you and paralyze you with his hairy, slimy arms. Then he consumes you. With his colossal mouth gaping open. Yeah, and by long tentacles, we meant that they can stretch for miles, and there's no way out when you come across Lou Carcolh. So, unless you're a fighting ninja swordsman with expert monster-fighting skills, there's nothing left for you to do but scream and pray until you're swallowed whole, clothes and everything, as slime-covered snail food. This serpent-mollusk hybrid is said to live in southwest France's underground caverns and has a shell on its back, much like a snail. But it's not at all typical. We should probably stop dreaming about him now because it's about to take over our nightmares.
