Saint-Méry (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ meʁi] ⓘ) is a commune in the Seine-et-Marne department in the Île-de-France region in north-central France.
Towards the end of the seventh century, Saint Mederic, abbot of Saint-Martin d'Autun, set off on a pilgrimage to the tombs of Saint Denis and Saint Germain, in Paris, in the company of a young monk named Frodulphe.
The road was long because the abbot, aging and tired, had to stop often to take rest.
It was thus that Mederic and Frodulphe halted at a deserted spot near Paris, where a chapel was then erected to commemorate the pilgrim abbe, whose charity, piety, and miracles had struck the people.
