Église Saint-Georges de Néris-les-Bains

Saint Georges Church features an octagonal bell tower rising from a square base, with a wooden spire composed of three stacked pyramidal sections covered in shingles.

The building originated as a Gallo-Roman civil basilica between the 4th and 6th centuries before its conversion into a church and subsequent modifications in the 11th century.

The northern wall displays Roman construction techniques through three rows of bricks alternating with six rows of cubic stones from the ancient period.

The church welcomes visitors throughout the year, with information materials available at the Néris-les-Bains tourist office for self-guided tours.

The structure incorporates architectural elements from both Roman and medieval periods, creating a visible timeline of construction methods and styles.
