TOWN PRESENTATION

Saint-Clément-les-Places was formerly an annex of the parish of Longessaigne.


SIGHTSEEING
  • The Church:
  • It dates from the 19th century and neo-Romanesque.
  • The four bells are still operated manually by the watchmaker at every event. He is also charged every two days to wind the clock has been restored.
  • Inside the church, presents a showcase of sacred objects. St. Clement found a statue, but also on a table.
  • Crosses:
  • A cross dating from 1538 located at the entrance of the church. On its trunk is represented St Clement. Another cross located on the road towards the cemetery date from 1783 and is signed "DB".
  • The village has its origins in the hamlet "Les Places": the oldest house in the town is therefore in this locality situated on the road towards the hostels.
  • The hamlet "The Fournière" has a rich history. It was built in two different periods: one part of the 1900, but another party has, by local writer Remi Cook, origins much earlier. The settlement, located along the old Roman road, was built by the Hospitallers of St. Jacques. This theory is confirmed by the presence of a large bread oven in one of the hamlet of farms indicates that "The Fournière" should be an important passage place.
  • A station was almost built at the crossroads "Chevaleron" on the transition line railroad that would link Pontcharra-on-Turdine in Sainte-Foy-l'Argentière. The 1914-1918 war interrupted this project, but the plot line was maintained in City Hall.
  • Unusual: on the facade of City Hall, the sculptured bust is not Marianne, even if it looks like. It is a Renaissance person. Since we are interested in building the City Council, know that is quite extraordinary, the archives which are preserved back to the year 1600.
  • The village streets are names of former positions held previously on the town as "Rue de la Forge", "Street Clock"?
  • The plane and linden in the village square have been planted in the early 20th century.
  • Pottery workshop (visits and demonstrations by appointment).
  • The Mural of "Earth Houses": At the Pottery Festival 2006, an animation on the theme "houses land" was offered to visitors and has helped build about 90 houses representing plates according to the imagination. The painting can be admired on the wall along the site at the village entrance.
  • The Park Activities: Two buildings will certainly attract your attention at the entrance of the village.
  • This is primarily an incubator of innovative companies, initiated in 1988 by the Community of Communes Chamousset Lyonnais in order to help future business leaders to finalize their projects, while encouraging them to settle on the canton.
  • Next door, a Multimedia Experimental Center was built in 1995. It is freely available to the public and since 1999 it hosts the experimental services of the mission "new technology" of the Rhône General Council.

EVENTS AND CELEBRATIONS
  • The Pottery Festival: Every 1st weekend of July in even years. The Biennial includes thirty professional potters on the village square. Introduction to working the land and musical entertainment for all.
