Introduction

Alouette is a TAUOLA thin wrapper for simulating single $\tau$ decays. It can operate in forward or in backward Monte Carlo mode. Alouette is built over Tauola++ Fortran source (version 1.1.8, for the LHC). It can be used as a C library (libalouette) or as a Python 3 package (alouette).
