Saint Honoré is the patron of a Carthusian establishment at Abbeville, which was founded in 1306. He is the patron saint of bakers and pastry chefs. In 1400, the bakers of Paris established their guild in the church of Saint Honoratus, celebrating his feast on 16 May.

St. Honore, also known as Honoratus, became bishop of Amiens in Northern France in the 6 ^th century. After his death, processions in his honor supposedly stopped both droughts and deluges, ensuring good wheat harvests. This won him the admiration of bakers across the country.
