Saint Amabilis of Riom (or "Amabilis of Auvergne") ( _fr. Saint Amable, _it. Sant'Amabile) was a French saint. Sidonius Apollinaris brought Amabilis to serve at Clermont. [ [http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04053a.htm Catholic Encyclopedia: Clermont ] ]

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.
