What is farfadets?

Farfadets is a French term that translates to "sprites" or "impish fairies" in English. In French folklore, Farfadets are mythical creatures that are said to be mischievous and playful. They are typically depicted as small, winged beings that live in forests or meadows and enjoy playing pranks on humans, such as tangling their hair or stealing their possessions. Farfadets are also known to be protective of their homes and will often defend them from any intruders. Although they are not seen as evil, they are not often associated with benevolent behavior, and humans are advised to avoid them in order to prevent being caught up in their tricks. Despite this, Farfadets continue to be popular in French folklore, and their stories have been passed down through generations.
