Saint-Gervais-Dʼauvergne: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
Saint-Gervais-d'Auvergne preserves striking traces of its local history: several historic houses dating from the 15th century are still standing. On the platform where the church stands, some of the so-called “Sully” lime trees planted in 1601 are also growing.
History
The Église Saint-Gervais et Saint-Protais is a composite building with Romanesque elements from the 12th century as well as Gothic openings and Gothic rib vaults. Its imposing square bell tower is decorated with two gargoyles. Inside are two Pietàs dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, respectively. Extensive work was carried out on the church in the 15th century, including fortification work.
