Avitus was born in Orléans and became a monk at Ménat in Auvergne. An abbot and pastor at heart, he was a model of selflessness and service. He was the third abbot of Micy (or Saint Mesmin) near Orléans. The hermit's life appealed to him, and he went to the Perche region with Saint Calais. He was a healing saint: in particular, he restored sight to a blind man and raised a dead man from the dead. His reputation grew, and his disciples encouraged him to found and build a monastery for them. He died around 530. His relics are kept at the Benedictine monastery of Saint Nicholas in Verneuil-sur-Avre.
