Saint-Vert is a small village with a population of about 100. Within the 11th century, a small priory dependent on the abbey of La Chaise-Dieu was established here. About two hundred years later this priory was used as an infirmary for the near abbey. The "Église de la Décollation-de-Saint-Jean-Baptiste" was erected in the 12th century and enlarged and rebuilt in the 15th. The nave and the corbels are Romanesque.
