Martin of Vienne
Saint Martin of Vienne was the legendary third
feast day celebrated locally in Vienne
on 1 July.
Although he is mentioned in the 8th century by Archbishop Ado in his Chronicles,[2] it has since been questioned whether he ever existed.[2][3][4]
A district and a bridge in the old town of Vienne are named after him, as is the town of Saint-Martin-l'Ars, in the department of Vienne.[5]
