Aurea of Paris was a seventh-century abbess who led the monastery of Saint Martial in Paris. Born in Syria, she migrated to France during the reigns of King Dagobert I and Clovis II. Around 632, Saint Eligius established a nunnery in Paris for three hundred virgins and appointed Aurea to serve as its first leader. She passed away in 666 during a plague, alongside one hundred and sixty of her fellow sisters.
