france is not the paradise yet as hare coursing is illegal. About coursing, it never was popular in France. Forbidden since 1844. The French kings and aristocrats favoured hunting with scent hounds. History also tells that, when James II of England sought refuge in France, he and his friends came with so many greyhounds that the hares were very scarce around Saint-Germain. It is told to have given a bad fame to hare coursing......

Only racing is legal. But it is not popular. The other types of hunting are very popular. Hunting is an institution in French countryside since the revolution. And hunters come from all the social backgrounds. Every year they kill deer, wild boars, hares, rabbits, pheasants, partridges ... and joggers.

thanks for info
