etc

Moreover, holy Michel would have fought against the extraordinary dragon of Saint-Vivien-with-Pons.

Holy Georges, which killed the dragon of Lydie is omnipresent in the Paroisse S of France, more widespread still than the Archange holy Michel!

The Hagiographie S did nothing but take again old the Légende S pagan which survive thus through them. Many are the Effigie S of dragons which one formerly left in procession at the time of the Rogations, or at the time of the Carnaval, in the Fête S Profane S.

It arrives as, once in a while does no harm, as the snake protects the saint against the Roman soldiers who want to seize themselves of him, as in the legend from Pèlerin saint, with Bouhy, in the Nievre!

Everywhere the saints succeed the Druide S of old the Gaulle.

There is not thus a Province which does not have one or more local saints having killed, having overcome, subjected, tamed, made inoffensive the Dragon, Tarasque, Coquatrix or Coulobre personifying the terrible Energy of the Earth, power of the mountain, forces torrent, gaping of the pit, devastation of raw…, which becoming more flexible then takes the softer name of Vouivre.

Among the scientific explanations, one can imagine (especially by seeing certain representations in engraving) that animals crocodiliens were killed.
