She founded the monastery of St. Mary of les Audelya in [[Touraine]] and a [[Chelles Abbey|monastery in Chelles]], and built churches, reportedly at [[Rouen]], [[Lyon]], and [[Les Andelys]];<ref name="farmer" />{{Sfn|Dunbar|1904|p=191}} The monastery in Chelles was built for nuns, in honour of [[Saint George]]; [[Balthild of Chelles|Saint Bathilde of Chelles]], the wife of [[Clovis II]], restored it 100 years later. The monastery was wealthy until modern times and was, for many years, "a great place of resort and education for English princesses",{{Sfn|Dunbar|1904|p=193}} who were the descendants of Clovis and Clotilde. In 511, Clotilde founded a convent for young noble girls in Les Andelys, where the collegiate church now stands. According to a story related on the Les Andelys tourist office website, a miracle occurred there during the convent's construction. One day, the workers complained about the heat and their thirst; in response, Clotilde prayed and water from a nearby fountain "had the power and the taste of wine for the workers".<ref name="fountain"/> The space in front of the fountain was larger than it currently is, so there was enough room for pilgrims who came for healing, which reinforced people's belief in its power. The spring has become known for healing skin diseases.<ref name="fountain"/> 

Clotilde has been depicted in art over several centuries presiding over the baptism of Clovis or as a suppliant at [[Martin of Tours|St. Martin's]] shrine. The church dedicated to her in Andelys contains a "fine 16th-century stained-glass window devoted to her life".<ref name="farmer" /> There is a painting of Clotilde in the Bedford Missal, probably by [[Jean Baptiste van Eycken|Jan Van Eyck]], which Dunbar describes as "a beautiful and brilliant representation of the granting of the lilies to Clovis".{{Sfn|Dunbar|1904|p=191}} Her relics survived the [[French Revolution]] and as of 1997, are stored at the [[Saint-Leu-Saint-Gilles de Paris|Church of Saint Louis of France]] in Paris.<ref name="farmer" /> In 1857, a "grand new church" was founded in her honour in Paris.{{Sfn|Dunbar|1904|p=193}} Clotilde's feast day is June 3.<ref name="farmer" />
