Achille Millien

Achille Millien (4 September 1838 – 12 January 1927) was a French poet and folklorist.

His poetic work includes a dozen collections of rustic inspiration: La Moisson, Chants agrestes, Musettes et clairons, Chez nous, Aux champs et au foyer, L'Heure du couvre-feu...

As soon as 1877, Millien began the systematic collection of folk tales, legends and folk songs of the Nivernais region. This considerable work, the results of which are still largely unpublished, makes Achille Millien "an exemplary reference in the world of contemporary ethnology".

In 1896, he established the Revue du Nivernais, a monthly publication which appeared until 1910.
