Who are the Fontenautes, those time travellers ?
Everything begins during the summer 2020…
Once upon a time, a brave archaeologist was appointed to a very important task. He had to list every famous person of Fontenay’s county in a notebook. However, while doing his duty, he was struck by lightning ! Thankfully he escaped unhurt but his notebook… not so much. Every single person on that notebook were brutally moved into the 21st century… Even the fairy Melusine was expelled from the notebook and was taken from the Middle Age to the present day, where he settled.
Shocked, Melusine discovered that she was in another century and that she wasn’t the only one : others were also “teleported”.
Those people, who were embodied fully or partially, made their presence known through their shadow, their voice, or for some, their smell.
They now all live nearby and aren’t even depressed by that weird experience. They used this experience to get on fantastic adventures and stroll with a public, eager to hear them out. As for Melusine, she accepted to become a touristic influencer on Instagram and TikTok for the region.
