Madame d'Aulnoy

Madame d'Aulnoy was a Saint-Clément resident who owned a garden gnome named Vaclav. She fussed over him, singing to him and giving him mugs of ale, dishes of cream, and tasty tidbits, though he could only enjoy them once a month. Vaclav was devoted to her, and thus refused the Garden Gnome Freedom Front's offer of "liberation."
