A walk to discover the Saut de la Saule

Romanesque church. Year of construction: 12th century. Classified as a historical monument in 1930.The Church of Saint-Maurice-et-Saint-Louis in Vebret is a true treasure of the Cantal region's Romanesque heritage. Its origins date back to the 12th century, and it is mentioned in a charter attributed to Clovis. Frequently remodeled over the centuries, two side chapels were added to the church, notably in the 15th century. The church is built in the Auvergne Romanesque style, with volcanic tufa stone on its west facade. The bell tower is a truncated pyramid-shaped bell gable, with three openings for the bells. The roof is traditional, covered with slate tiles, and buttresses support the structure. Restorations carried out from 1997 onwards revealed painted decoration, some motifs of which date back to the Romanesque period. In the barrel-vaulted nave, the transverse arches rest on columns with sculpted capitals. One of the church's treasures is a monumental polychrome wooden Christ, nearly two meters high and wide, in a "Christ Triumphant" style. The furnishings include a 17th-century pulpit, a wooden baptismal font, and statues of saints (Saint Louis, Saint Maurice, etc.). There is also a reliquary-monstrance of Saint Louis, an object of significant heritage value.
