1 Cock
, cockerelIn the bestiary of symbolism, the cock is the symbolic creature for France, as the lion is for England or the dragon for Wales. This symbolism is very ancient, having its roots in Gallo-Roman times due to a partial homonymy between the Latin word Gallus, a cock, and Gallia, Gaul - the Latin name for the area today known as France. The effigy of the cock is still used as a symbol of modern France; it features on the great seal of state, standing on the rudder of the ship steered by Liberty. However, le coq is most commonly seen as a symbol or mascot for French teams in the world of sport.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais. Agriculture Biologique > Cock
