Flamboyant Gothic church, one of the most beautiful in the region.

Built of granite, the church is in the Flamboyant Gothic style. The dates of its construction (1471-1518) are engraved on the lintel of the south portal, which is the most richly decorated. The building is one of the most beautiful churches in the region. On the façade, the upper part of the tower dates from the Renaissance period. Inside, an impression of verticality predominates. A curiosity: during Holy Week, the bells do not ring. In Ambert, the coraire, from the top of the terrace, uses his megaphone to call the faithful to the services of Good Friday and Holy Saturday.

Une belle église, très majestueuse, située en centre historique, ce qui vous permettra de visiter et flaner dans les vieilles ruelles et places aux alentours.
Cet église est à voir de par son architecture et sa hauteur qui est assez incroyable pour l'Auvergne, de beaux vitraux et un autel magnifique.
Endroit très frais en ce temps de forte chaleur
