PARIS — Manon Aubry, co-chair of the Left Group in the European Parliament, was back on her feet Thursday after being hospitalized for a snake bite.

“I was in the (French region of) Lot and I simply stepped on a viper,” Aubry told reporters on the first day of a conference in southern France by her hard-left party, France Unbowed.

Aubry on Tuesday shared a picture of herself on a hospital bed after the incident, drawing widespread media attention in France.
