“For my first immersion, I had the chance to discover the unmissable Saint-Julien basilica in Brioude, the largest Romanesque church in Auvergne.”
My name is Chloé and I have just joined the Brioude Sud Auvergne Tourist Office team as a communications apprentice.
For my first immersion, I had the chance to discover the unmissable St. Julian's Basilica of Brioude, the largest Romanesque church in Auvergne.
I was amazed by the colors of the stones, the sculpted capitals, the ancient frescoes and the stained glass windows... but my favorite is the Saint-Michel Chapel ✨
