Victor of Cambon

Saint Victor of Cambon was a hermit of the sixth century. He is said to have been born around 560 in the parish of Cambon and to have lived on an island in the diocese of Nantes, near Pontchâteau. He was a disciple of one of Saints Friard of Indret, Martin of Vertou or Hermeland of Indre, the sources being unable to say which.

The Normans laid waste his oratory in 878, but the place remained a place of miracles. His tomb was desecrated during the French Revolution, and his relics are lost. His feast is kept on 31 August (new style, Western calendar). He is a saint of the undivided Church, honoured locally.
