Saint Amabilis of Riom (or Amabilis of Auvergne) (French: Saint Amable, Italian: Sant'Amabile ) was a French saint. Sidonius Apollinaris brought Amabilis to serve at Clermont.[4]
He served as a cantor in the church of Saint Mary at Clermont and as a precentor at the cathedral of Clermont and then as a parish priest in Riom. He acquired a reputation for holiness in his lifetime.
Veneration
Riom grew up around the collegiate church of Saint Amable, which was the object of pilgrimages.
