Auvers is home to the House of the Beast of Gévaudan, which raged in the region from 1764 to 1767.
The statue of the Beast of Gévaudan in Auvers commemorates Marie-Jeanne Vallet's fight against the Beast in 1765.
If we will surely never know the truth about the Beast, which has become a real myth, the attacks also stopped after an animal identified as a wolf was shot not far from here (at Sogne d'Auvers) by Jean Chastel .

The 18th-century story of a beast that kills humans at night, localized in Auvers and handed down in local history, has endured through the ages and found its way into the fantasy series "Teen Wolf." The story surrounding the heroine, Marie-Jeanne Valet, is described in detail on an online fan site. If you're interested, see
