The Abbey of Saint-Germain d'Auxerre was a Benedictine monastery in central France, dedicated to its founder Saint Germain of Auxerre, the bishop of Auxerre, who died in 448.
He is sometimes identified with the Romanus of Auxerre who was venerated as Bishop of Auxerre on 8 October.
Being of noble birth, he was brought up in the royal court of Guntram, but wanted to become a priest, and was ordained by Saint Syagrius of Autun, and eventually was made Bishop of Auxerre.
