Depuis plus de 250 ans maintenant, de multiples théories sont avancées pour tenter d’expliquer la centaine d’attaques mortelles recensée au nord de la Lozère entre 1764 et 1767. Loup, hybride, chien dressé pour l’attaque, animal exotique, loup-garou ou tueur en série, les avis divergent et le mystère autour de l’histoire la Bête du Gévaudan reste entier

Elle fut réalisée par Noel et Roch Pélissier, ferronniers d'art à Saint Alban (Lozère) en 1992.
