Saint-Méry () is a commune in the Seine-et-Marne department in the Île-de-France region in north-central France.
==History== Towards the end of the seventh century, Saint Mederic, abbot of Saint-Martin d'Autun, set off on a pilgrimage to the tombs of Saint Denis and Saint Germain, in Paris, in the company of a young monk named Frodulphe. The road was long because the abbot, aging and tired, had to stop often to take rest. It was thus that Mederic and Frodulphe halted at a deserted spot near Paris, where a chapel was then erected to commemorate the pilgrim abbe, whose charity, piety, and miracles had struck the people. Soon some houses came to group around the building placed under the name of Saint-Médéric said Saint-Merry, Saint-Merri or Saint-Méry.
