La Chasse-Galerie
"This narrative is founded on a popular superstition dating back to the days of the coureurs des bois, under the French regime, and perpetuated among the voyageurs in the Canadian Northwest. The shantymen of a later date have taken up the tradition, and it is in the French settlements, bordering the St. Lawrence River, that the legends of la chasse-galerie are specially well known at the present time. The writer has met many an old voyageur who affirmed most positively that he had seen bark canoes traveling in mid-air, full of men paddling and singing away, under the protection of Beelzebub, on their way from the timber camps of the Ottawa to pay a flying visit to their sweethearts at home."

We need more of the preservation of Canadian history and Legend. Thank you so much for making this!
Another good show! That folktale is best, told around the campfire at night, in the deep woods...!
Awesome story! The French Canadian Voyageurs culture has always fascinated me. They were tough customers!
Incredible story thats just fun. Lol thanks so much
Awesome story!! And I love the fiddle music of the ballad of St. Ann’s reel!
J'ai jamais réalisé que la Chasse Galerie commençais vers Gatineau... je viens de Pointe-aux-Trembles... j'étais sur que ça commençais en Mauricie... et j'ai jamais réaliser qu'on mentionnais ma ville de nom dans l'histoire... on a toujours eu que des résumés de l'histoire quand j'étais jeune... merci mon cher!!!
Nice video , very nice charming voice 👍🏻👍🏻
WoW! Merci c’était succulent 😋 Montréal Québec in the house⚜️
If I only knew french... I would be able to understand the entire story.
I hear you. In my republishing of those French-Canadian classics, I include the translations of those French phrases in the footnotes of each page.
@@HammersonPeters Good to know. I enjoy your content. Keep up the good work!!!
Hell yeah love your vids
You deserve a Brazilian subs .
Wait is a Brazilian a number ?
Yes it’s a little more than a goo gala plex to the goo gala plex power
From Bayou Lafourche in Louisiana; this really felt familiar. With my extremely limited grasp of French, I was able to understand much of the French phrases almost by "feel" (a lot like the Cajun French phrases here). Having for so long associated rugged French pioneers in the New World with the hot and humid climate of south Louisiana, its really cool hearing folktales of essentially the same people but up in the frigid woods of the North.
Also, is it just me, or does the narrator's accent also remind you of the accents of a lot of Scandinavians who speak English?
It's funny... Growing up French Canadian in Québec, I feel the same way about French settlers in Louisiana... so far geographically, but so close as far as cultural memory... cousins..
@@ponfed Nordic and Sub-Tropical French-Canadians! ;-)
This is delightful! I'd never heard this one before.

Savois Faire is every where. Savois Faire was a little French Canadian Mountee mouse and that was his slogan.

French Canadeins' truth-telling on Michigan/Canada boarder... it happened... believe it, or not
Mad story
I love your video🆒💞🐟
Thanks for saying so!
I believe that Liza Guimbette would have wait for him become his wife, and not that douchebag Boisjoli from Lanoraie, if they had not made this deal with Belzebut...
I think it's Belzebubb = Prince of Demons
Please can you make this same video but with you narrating. Please
