History

The history of Saint-Germain-Lembron dates back to Gallo-Roman times when a town designated as the Liziniat (Liziniacus) appearing in some ancient writings, the latter being located on-site or near the present village. One of three churches dedicated to St. Germain was built here and, the town was home to a community of canons from the second half of the 10th century, finally gave its name to the town, as already attested to the Merovingian vicus.

From the 14th century, Saint-Germain-Lembron ranks among the thirteen good towns of Lower Auvergne.
