The town was called Saint-Léger-en-Morvan, then Saint-Léger-de-Foucheret, before adding in 1867 the name of Marshal Vauban who was born in this place in 1633. Saint-Léger was given by the Bishop of Autun in 974 to the Abbey of Vézelay, then in the 12th century to the Abbey of Reigny. The church, under the name of Saint-Léger, is built on a terrace overlooking a small valley; with a cruciform plan, it includes a nave, a projecting transept and a choir with a flat chevet.

The second part of the village's name comes from the large number of empty stone tombs placed in the cemetery surrounding the church. The church is the central location of the village, next to the mayor and not far from a mini-market and a few shops.
