ST. JOHN'S CHURCH
Flamboyant Gothic church, one of the most beautiful in the region.
Built of granite, it is in the flamboyant Gothic style. The dates of construction (1471-1518) are inscribed on the lintel of the south portal. It is one of the most beautiful churches in the region. The south portal is the most richly decorated. On the façade, the upper part of the tower is Renaissance. Inside, the impression of verticality dominates. 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 on Good Friday and Holy Saturday.

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
