Chapelle du vieux Saint-Amé

In the footsteps of Saint-Amé de Remiremont

Saint-Amé, a seventh-century figure, founded the double monastery of Saint-Mont with Saint-Romaric. Born in Grenoble, he lived as a hermit on this mountain, where he has been buried since 629. This spiritual place gave birth to one of the most influential women's chapters in Europe.

Today, crosses and remains are a reminder of this rich past, marking the site of the first church of Saint-Amé and a former cemetery. Although the current chapel is closed, the exterior is an invitation to discover a place steeped in history and legend.

Access: Start on foot from the mobile police station in Saint-Étienne-lès-Remiremont. Walking map available from the Tourist Office and on the Remiremont Plombières Tourisme app.
