Gemme lived at the end of the 1st century AD in Lusitania (current Portugal).
This "Portuguese" woman had come to Aquitaine where her fame was very much alive from the earliest antiquity.
Of remarkable beauty, of great distinction, she devoted herself entirely to Jesus Christ, in celibacy for the Kingdom of Heaven, in poverty and service, taking God as the only spouse who deserved his love. Jealous men decided to martyr her to death. Like Jesus, she asked God the Father to forgive her executioners, "because they do not know what they are doing". His courage inspired many conversions to Christianity.

More than ten localities placed under his name in this region testify to his reputation.
