Life
Modestus of Vannes was the fourth bishop of Vannes, around 510. In 511 he took part, together with thirty-two other bishops of the Frankish kingdom, in the First Council of Orléans. In the Gallia Christiana his name appears with the title of saint (S. Modestus). Our source says no more of his life and gives no feast day.
