Abstract
Within this website, I will delve into my interest in Celtic folklore and its expansion to France. I will focus on the origins of Celtic Folklore, the theorized ways it was spread, and how it influenced French myth. Geographical expansion is a key element to this topic, as well as the Gaulois people who remain in France to this day. Come with me as I examine how the oral myths and traditions of the Celts are spread throughout France.
