Le loup-garou
In fifteenth-century Burgundy, Alice loves a stranger who saved her from drowning, while her guardian has arranged her marriage to Bertrand. The stranger is actually exiled Count Albéric, whose wolf-haunted village fears a werewolf. Alice rejects him when she believes he is the beast, but later declares her love even if he is; the count’s identity is revealed, and Alice and Albéric, and Bertrand and Catherine, become engaged.
