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.

The name Rue des Tanneurs is linked to the activity of the tanneries which made up the good years of Saint-Saëns. They have been a real engine of economic development in the city. To the point of causing the creation of a station a few hundred meters from this street. The great master tanners of the 19th century were mainly based in what was then called “rue de l’Eau”.

The Church has a Latin cross plan with one nave, a nave intersected by a transept, semi-circular bays punctuate the elevations. The bell tower and its polygonal slate spire dominate the double-sloped roofs. The facade is decorated with geometric patterns.

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.
