Saint Saturnin, also known as Saint Sernin in modern French, was the first bishop of Toulouse. He was martyred by pagan priests, who tied him by his feet to a bull which dragged him about the town until the rope broke. The site, where the bull stopped is on the rue du Taur (Street of the Bull), and the Romanesque basilica honoring St. Saturnin is located.
