Grandgousier


Grandgousier is a fictional character in the story of Gargantua by François Rabelais. He is the husband of Gargamelle and the father of Gargantua.
A Rabelaisien character par excellence, he has an appreciation of good living, good heart, and all of life's pleasures.
Grandgousier represents a stereotypical good king, in apposition to the bad king of Picrochole. He advocates peace and discussion over war and greed.
