Saint Illidius (French: Saint Allyre, Alyre;[1] died 385) was a 4th-century bishop of Clermont, France.[2] To Illidius is attributed the rise of Clermont-Ferrand as a center of religious teaching and culture.[3] According to tradition, he cured the daughter of the Roman Emperor Magnus Maximus at Trier.[3]
Gregory of Tours mentions Illidius in his work.[3] The fountain of St. Allyre at Clermont is known for its petrifying water, caused by calcareous deposits.
