The term "fairy tales" was first applied to the tales written in France in the 17th and 18th centuries, mostly by women in the salons of Paris. One of the most famous fairy tales is Beauty and the Beast, first published in 1740 by Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve.
But if you're using the term "fairy tales" generically, then the answer is "everywhere."
