Recorded use
Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how drac appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
Le peuple n’a pu se persuader que ce fleuve ne fut un fleuve ; il a bien vu que la violence du Rhône était de la colère, et reconnu les convulsions d’un monstre dans ses gouffres tourbillonnants. Le monstre c’est le drac, la tarasque espèce de tortue-dragon, dont on promène la figure à grand bruit dans certaines fêtes.
Pour le Rhône, à Lyon, c’est déjà, non un petit drac, mais l’horrible et énorme « Mâchecroute » qui a gîté sous l’actuel pont de la Guillotière. La bête, maîtresse de la profondeur, est responsable de l’inondation.
