French (France)

Les contes de Charles Perrault sont une véritable institution de par le monde. Tout le monde a entendu parler de la Belle au Bois dormant ou Cendrillon. Charles Perrault a contribué à inscrire dans l’imaginaire collectif ces histoires françaises, autrefois racontées à voix haute, et Robert Franc, que l’on peut entendre sur le CD, perpétue cette tradition de conteur d’histoire. Ce CD inclut la lecture en français du "Chat Botté", "Barbe-Bleue", "Rickie la houppe" et "Cendrillon". Un deuxième CD existe également avec des versions lues de la "Belle au Bois Dormant", "les Fées", "le Petit Chaperon Rouge" et "le Petit Poucet": Contes de Perrault, Vol. 2: French Fairy Tales Read in French by Robert Franc.
