«La Belle et la Bête» is the tale by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont with extracts from Jean Cocteau's script and photos, published by Hatier in paperback.
The volume brings together Madame Leprince de Beaumont's tale, in which Belle agrees to live with the beast to save her father, and materials from Jean Cocteau's 1946 film: script extracts, stills and behind-the-scenes photos.

It belongs to number 85 of the Classiques & Cie Collège collection, a didactic series by Hatier for the French curriculum.
Designed for secondary school students in France and for readers who want to compare the tale with Cocteau's film adaptation.
Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont was a French writer who wrote the best-known version of Beauty and the Beast, an abridged adaptation of the 1740 fairy tale by Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve. Born to a middle-class family, she was raised alongside her younger sister, Catherine Aimée. Both were provided education at a convent school and stayed on as teachers. Rather than remain and take her vow as a nun, she left for Metz, France, and became a governess for a prominent family in a court in Lunéville. As a long-time educator, she became well known for her written works on behavior and instructional teaching for young women. Her interest in the genre of education contributed to her inclusion of fairytales to teach moral behavior.
