In his life
After leaving the army Martin came to Hilary, the bishop of Poitiers, to learn from him. He returned here after Hilary’s exile and stayed close to him until Hilary died.
There today
Hilary’s tomb is in the church of Saint-Hilaire-le-Grand. The Baptistery of Saint John, begun in the fourth century, is among the oldest Christian buildings in France.
