The Saint-Amable Basilica offers a booklet in enlarged characters and a model facilitating the visit of the visually impaired.

The chapel built by the priest Amable in the5th century was replaced at the end of the 12th century by a Romanesque building of which the nave remains today. The gothic chevet with an ambulatory was built in the 13th century. In the 18th century, the cloister was demolished and the architect Dijon built the classical style façade. A shrine contains the relics of Saint Amable, whose legend tells of his powers over demons, snakes and fires. The woodwork dates from 1687. A booklet in large print and a model make the visit easier for the visually impaired.

Une basilique pour un saint peu connu.
On peut y voir le reliquaire de Saint Amable et une histoire de sa vie ainsi qu'un vitrail présentant la roue que l'on promène dans les processions en son honneur, roue ancienne exposée au musée archéologique et ethnographique.

La basilique Saint Amable de Riom est situé en face de la Halle au marché. Elle a été réalisée en pierre de volvic et date du 12ème siècle. On y trouve un joli mobilier et les différentes chapelles sont globalement bien conservées.

Belle basilique, assez simple mais en très bon état contrairement à l'autre église de la ville. Pas mal de panneau explicatifs.
