The Romance of Renart is a collection of animal stories written around 1200. The hero is a mischievous, mischievous, sometimes perverse or cruel fox. The original text is written in old French.

The text is translated into modern French with the aim of remaining faithful to the original text, while remaining easy and pleasant to read.
