tartarin de tarascon

Tartarin de Tarascon is a 1872 novel, by the French author Alphonse Daudet. It tells the burlesque adventures of Tartarin, a local hero of Tarascon, pretending to be a lion hunter. The book was followed by two sequels: Tartarin sur les Alpes (1885) and Port-Tarascon (1890). Since 1985, a small museum in the city of Tarascon is dedicated to the fictional character Tartarin. A festival is held in Tarascon every year on the last Sunday of June to remember Tartarin and the Tarasque. Movies based on this novel, and with the same title, were released in 1908, 1934, and 1962. The 1962 film was directed by Francis Blanche, and starred Alfred Adam, Jacqueline Maillan, Bourvil, Robert Porte.
