Gaspard Bouis

Gaspard Bouis, known as Gaspard de Besse, was a notorious French highwayman from the village of Besse-sur-Issole in the Var, renowned for his chivalrous approach to robbery. Operating in the late 17th century, he gained a reputation for only targeting wealthy travelers while sparing the poor and women during his heists. His legacy lives on in local folklore, and his birthplace is a notable landmark in the village.
