Saint-Nectaire is a commune in the Puy-de-Dôme department in Auvergne in central France. The village is in two sections Saint-Nectaire-le-Haut and Saint-Nectaire-le-Bas.
Saint-Nectaire was the name of an estate in Auvergne that belonged to the count of Auvergne, who ceded it at a date between 1146 and 1178 to the abbey of La Chaise-Dieu for the foundation of a priory and sepulcher dedicated to Saint Nectarius of Auvergne , associated with the site as the first evangelist of the region. The legenda of Saint Nectarius record the site of a temple of Apollo on Mont Cornadore, converted into the basilica, of which the oldest structures still standing are of the eleventh century. In the basilica is a characteristically Auvergnat Virgin and Child of the second half of the twelfth century. The site's thermal springs, which would account for a healing shrine of Apollo, were extensively developed in the 19th century into a spa facility. In a cave in the mountain are hydrothermal stalagmites.
