The story of Cinderella traces it's origins back to france, as does Little red riding hood and Puss in boots.
A lot of French folklore surrounds creatures such as Bruin the bear, Baldwin the ass, Tybalt the cat and Hirsent the she-wolf, Reynard the fox who is a trickster (Fire/Psychic?) (I blatantly stole this from wikipedia).
There is a story of two giants called Gargantua and Pantagruel who are father and son.
There is Durandal, a magical sword.
and perhaps the most important thing I read,
a Dolphin. It's the story of a king and queen who have many children. One day of them runs away, meets a dolphin who teaches him how to trick a woman into loving him. At this point I can't work out whether he transforms the son into a canary or himself, but yeah there's something about a fairy called Grognette who gets angry and whatever.
