When St. Germanus, Bishop of Auxerre, went with St. Lupus into Britain to oppose the Pelagian heresy, he lay at Nanterre in his way. The inhabitants flocked about them to receive their blessing, and St. Germanus made them an exhortation, during which he took particular notice of Genevieve, though only seven years of age.

Genevieve is the patron of the city of Paris. Her life of prayer in the 5th. century was an inspiration to the citizens of Paris when they were under threat of siege, first from the Franks and then from the Huns under Attila. The Parisian church where her body was enshrined was dilapidated by the 18th. century but was replaced just in time for the French Revolution, when it was turned over to secular use and in due course became a Pantheon, where many of the high and mighty of France are buried; the Pantheon still contains frescoes depicting her life.

Patroness of Paris, b. at Nanterre, c. 419 or 422; d. at Paris, 512. Her feast is kept on 3 January. She was the daughter of Severus and Gerontia; popular tradition represents her parents as poor peasants, though it seems more likely that they were wealthy and respectable townspeople.
