Here's some more valuable information from "The History of the Franks"
(I've edited slightly).
"Paris was hallowed from antiquity, so that no fire could overwhelm it, and
no snake or rat appear there. When a drain by the bridge was being cleaned
out and the mud which blocked it was being taken away, they discovered a
snake and a rat made of bronze. They removed them both: and from this time
onwards an inordinate number of rats and snakes made their appearance.
Subsequently the city began to be plagued by fires." (This removal probably
took place in the 570s or 580s.)
This is kind of surprising to find in a book written by a bishop, in that
usually he's writing about saintly miracles, not pagan ones.
