Saillant’s church
Saillant
This roman church has the only intact steeple of the XVth Century in Ambert’s neighbourhood. Its chapels in the aisles are dedicated to the important families of the Ance valley.
Built on the site of a pre-Romanesque church dating from the 10th century, but essentially Gothic, its construction was staggered until the early 18th century. Its side chapels are dedicated to important Ance valley families.
