Saint-Rémy-de-Salers
Description
Saint-Rémy once had a rich priory appointed by the abbot of Aurillac. The little church has a few surprises in store (special chevet-apse, fresco and stained glass).
Saint-Remy-de-Salers, built on the imperial road (which linked Toulouse to Clermont Ferrand), is home to a charming church, the jewel in its crown.
The Romanesque ensemble has been altered at various times and has a few surprises in store (special chevet-apse, fresco and stained-glass windows).
It has two distinctive features: the flat chevet-apse and the southern orientation of its open portal.
A square bell-tower dating from 1843 has replaced the old gable bell tower.
The portal is the most interesting feature.
A chequered entablature supported by two columns with capitals and twisted bases.
Two side chapels under pointed arches present a lowered chancel.
The vault features a 15th-century painting of Christ in glory.
Saint-Rémy once had a rich priory appointed by the abbot of Aurillac.
Numerous bread ovens in Saint-Rémy, Falgères and Jouvin and the house known as "la Commanderie" in Vedèche, which can all be visited thanks to the bread-oven trail.
The commune has 4 gites and a village hall that can accommodate 28 people.
The commune has been associated with Saint-Martin-Valmeroux since 1972.
