Église Saint-Genès des Carmes de Clermont-Ferrand, 13th-century Catholic church in Clermont-Ferrand, France.

Église Saint-Genès des Carmes is a 13th-century church with multiple naves and lateral chapels that organize its interior space. A 19th-century bell tower crowns the facade and shapes how the building looks from outside.

Carmelite friars settled in Clermont in 1288 and bought Bernard de Riom's house in 1290 for 80 livres, with Guillaume de Brioude as first prior. Philippe de Valois gave 40 livres for the church, and by 1371 the sanctuary, choir, a chapel of Saint Blaise and the Holy Innocents, and the bell tower were finished. The whole church was consecrated in 1472 by Jean de Gombert, Bishop of Orange; it was destroyed at the Revolution, and the surviving chapel became today's church in 1802.

The name Saint-Genès des Carmes recalls two roots: the parish's patron saint and the Carmelite friars who settled in Clermont in 1288. The chapel survived the Revolution and was bought back for Catholic worship in 1802, when it took this name. Inside, look for a late-17th-century fresco of John of the Cross and stained glass by Émile Thibaut.

Access to the building is through Rue Neuve des Carmes, where it sits along the street. For details about visiting times, it helps to contact the local information office beforehand.

The organ was built by Joseph Callinet in 1844-45 and inaugurated on 21 June 1845; the Merklin firm rebuilt it in 1898, and Marie-Claire Alain inaugurated its 1982 restoration. Its instrumental part has been listed as a Monument Historique object since 1980. From 1945 to 1995, Gisèle Burlurut was titular organist here for fifty years.
