Saint-Paulien - Saint-Georges
In Gallo-Roman times the Celtic people of the Vellavii had their capital, named Ruessio here. During the 6th century the capital was transferred to Anicium (= Le Puy), the last bishop here was Saint Paulianus.
-
Saint-Georges, located in the centre of Saint-Paulien, was built in the 11th - 12th centuries and got largely modified within the 16th century.
The walls of Saint-Georges have a beautiful polychromy resulting from the combination of white, grey, black, beige, brown, pink and even mauve volcanic blocks.
During my last visit, the church had been locked. This time I was lucky!
