This meadow was celebrated by reason of the brawls which went on there night and day; it was the hydra of the poor monks of Saint−Germain: ~quod mouachis Sancti−Germaini pratensis hydra fuit, clericis nova semper dissidiorum capita suscitantibus~.
Ce pré était célèbre par les tumultes qui s’y faisaient jour et nuit ; c’était l’hydre des pauvres moines de Saint-Germain, quod monachis Sancti-Germani pratensis hydra fuit, clericis nova semper dissidiorum capita suscitantibus.
