Paul of Narbonne was a third-century bishop who served as one of the first leaders of the Christian church in Gaul. Sent from Rome to revitalize faith following persecutions, he is recognized as one of the seven apostles to the Gauls. He established the first Christian community in Narbonne, where he acted as the inaugural bishop. Unlike some of his contemporaries, Paul survived the era's persecutions, eventually dying of natural causes around 250 in the same region where he had labored to spread the Gospel.
