Welcome to Saint-Ay !
The known story of Saint-Ay starts with that of its founder, Saint Agylus, who named the town after himself. Over time, the spelling of the town’s name changed from Sanctus Agylus to Saint-Ay (pronounced “Saint-E”).
The small fishermen’s hamlet of the 6th century is now, in the 21st century, a lively and pleasant small town, full of charm and gentle living, typical of towns along the Loire river, giving full meaning to its motto: “The strength of gentleness and gentleness in strength.”
Its inhabitants are called “Agyliens” and “Agyliennes”.
