On the roof of the Notre-Dame-des-Anges Church, a petrified monster hides: the Malebête. The elders say that it devoured the young people of the region. The monster also devoured herds of cows and even cowherds, so much so that all the young girls of the village of Angles ended up under its fangs. Then, a hermit mocked by its ugliness called Martin, or the priest of Angles who was ugly according to the sources, prayed for five days and managed to put a rosary around the beast's neck then lead it to the top of the bell tower. from the church where she was transformed into a stone statue. To punish the girls of the country for their mockery against him, Martin cast a last spell on the beast, and shouted to him: You will not live
from now on only the beauty of the Angles girls. And, immediately, the women of the village became ugly. This is why, it is said, all the local women are ugly. Until recently, during baptisms, it happened that some parents did not pass through the church porch to prevent their child from becoming ugly.
