description
In popular tradition, Gargantua is the embodiment of a gigantic but beneficial energy that brings order to chaos. On his travels, he changes the landscape by dropping the contents of his sack. The dirt from his shoes forms hills and mounds, his faeces form needles and his micturition forms rivers. He is a national myth.
