very pretty little village

The chapel of the blessed is located on the heights of Saint-Saëns. Believers or not come there for their children. The building would have the power to make babies walk! At the foot of the statue of Saint-Saëns, we sometimes find baby shoes, proof of the passage of parents worried about their children.

The original construction of the building dates back to the 11th and 12th centuries, partly destroyed by lightning on June 10, 1883. In 1896 it was decided to demolish and completely rebuild the church. In front of the church, you can admire the Dillard Fountain. This dates from 1901. Although he died about fifteen years before its construction, Mr. Dillard was keen to supply the city with drinking water and it was with this objective that he made a legacy in his will, a legacy which was contested by the family and whose lawsuit against the town of Saint-Saëns failed. The Dillard Fountain remained operational until 1960 when the city was connected to drinking water.

Every year (first Sunday of spring) the village of Clères welcomes spring with the traditional daffodil festival and its market. For decades, this festival has been a meeting point for the summer. We will therefore find different local producers and artisans presenting their products, but also awareness stands around nature and shows.

The market halls were built in the 18th century, and over time had various functions: museums, cinema hall, attic... Today, they have regained their former glory and host a weekly market on Sunday morning as well as an annual event every first Sunday of Spring: the Daffodil Festival.

Clères is a charming little village which developed in the 9th century around a fortified castle whose ruins are still visible today. To do this, it is necessary to go to the zoological park, one of the main attractions of the city along with its market halls and its church.

Immediately after the Rue des Tanneurs, on the Rue du Docteur Vasseux is this mill and two small waterfalls.
