The last wild boar in Britain was killed three centuies ago. More ferocious than the big cats yet secretive and seldome seen, wild pigs still haunt the forests of France - woodlands that are a legacy, not only of huntsmen and landowners but of craftsmen - barrel-makers and charcoal-burners - who replanted the trees.
These intelligent yet enigmatic creatures, left over from a mediaeval world, exploit the rich pageant of the forest - making pigs of themselves under its cover, often at the expense of tiny farms hidden amongst the trees.
