I can't recall if he is on this forum or not (in which case he may already have replied to you offlist) but it would be useful for you to contact a historian called Owen Davies at the University of Hertfordshire, UK (I think the website will be www.herts.ac.uk and then explore from there) as he has done some very interesting research on recent-modern French sorcery cases, and may be able to point you at relevant archives etc
cheers

Hi Sabina,
Thanks for this link. I have some more material on my blog.
It's less of a blog and more of a scrap collection. I'm interested in the discourse on witchcraft in the popular press among other things (particularly in the faits divers). I particularly got into the press because I'm researching the history of Naia (a sorceress in Brittany c. 1900).
There's a reference on the blog (link below) to a short paper (in English) by Walter Hauser.
http://what-is-witchcraft.blogspot.com/2007/10/judicial-murder-of-anna-gldi.html
If anyone out there has any links for press related material about witchcraft in France (or the rest of Europe) c. 1900 I'd be grateful.
Best

Check out this article about Anna Goeldi, the last witch to be executed in Switzerland, and at the relatively late date of 1792:

There’s now a museum dedicated to her memory, and the town is trying to have her exonerated posthumously.
