Gerard of Lunel was a 13th-century French saint and member of the Third Order of Saint Francis. Born into nobility around 1275, he inherited significant lands in Lunel, eventually becoming a count. Despite his high social status, he sought a life of asceticism. Alongside his brother Effrenaud, he lived as a hermit in caves for two years. After a period of growing local fame, the brothers embarked on a pilgrimage toward the Holy Land, which eventually led to his death in Italy.
