Paulinus was from a notable senatorial family with possessions in Aquitaine, northern Spain, and southern Italy.
Paulinus had developed a fondness for the 4th century martyr St. Felix of Nola when he had lived in Campania before, and they settled near Felix's tomb; Paulinus rebuilt the complex, greatly enlarging the shrine and building guest houses for pilgrims.
Paulinus wrote an annual hymn in honor of St. Felix for the feast day when processions of pilgrims were at their peak.
