Discover Saint-Clément-De-Régnat

Two distinct themes stand out for a stay in Saint-Clément-de-Régnat: the building history of the parish church and historic rural buildings, and a cycling circuit that passes through the village. The historical information places buildings in different centuries; for the Circuit de la Limagne – Villages et châteaux, the focus is on distance, elevation gain and stated duration. This allows you to consider local history and cycling as separate highlights.

Parish church and building phases

The parish church of Saint-Clément is located on Place de l'Église. It is mentioned in the 13th century; the apse was probably completed towards the end of the 12th century. The portal appears to date from the 15th century. The building was extensively altered in the second half of the 19th century. The mention of the church, the probable completion of individual parts and later alterations thus mark different phases in the church’s history.

The terms help relate the dates to the different parts: an apse is the end of a church interior, while a portal is its entrance. The dates given therefore do not describe a single building project. It is precisely the combination of several historical periods that makes the parish church a tangible reference point for local history.

Rural buildings and historical traces

The Ferme de Régnat is located at 2 rue du Vieux Lavoir and is privately owned. It was probably built in the second half of the 19th century. The construction date is therefore given as a probable period, not as an exact year.

The Domaine de Bas at 1 rue du Domaine de Bas is a historic rural building complex, also privately owned. The present-day residence was built in the first quarter of the 19th century; the roof framework bears the year 1826. The two details refer to different chronological evidence: the construction period of the residence is a span of time, whereas 1826 appears as a year on the roof framework. Together, they provide a more precise historical context for the estate without treating the two details as equivalent.

The fief of Cresneuil was first mentioned in 1650. Its residence and agricultural buildings were destroyed in the first half of the 20th century. Local history here therefore centres on an early mention and the later loss of the buildings in question—a different historical trace from the building phases of the parish church or the surviving estates.

Cycling circuit through Saint-Clément-de-Régnat

The Circuit de la Limagne – Villages et châteaux is an easy cycling circuit that passes through Saint-Clément-de-Régnat. It is 53.5 kilometres long, has 421 metres of ascent and can be ridden year-round. The stated duration is 2 hours and 40 minutes. This gives you several specific figures to help plan the ride: distance, ascent and stated time.

These figures answer different questions and can be considered together. The distance describes the length of the circuit, the elevation gain the stated ascent, and the duration the estimated time required. The easy rating complements these figures but does not replace them. Cultural history and cycling thus offer two clearly distinct ways to explore Saint-Clément-de-Régnat.
