The Tarasque — The Legendary River Monster of France 🐉🌊.

According to the medieval legend of Tarascon, a terrifying creature called the Tarasque lived near the Rhône and threatened the local population. The story tells how Martha, later Saint Martha, approached the monster and subdued it using holy water.
Over the centuries, the Tarasque became deeply connected with Tarascon's identity, eventually becoming the centerpiece of traditional festivities that continue today.
