A pilgrim's stop on the Way of St. James. The church contains relics of St. Leonard, the patron saint of prisoners. Pilgrimages to this site have been held since the 11th century; even Richard the Lionheart made a pilgrimage here. A stamp for the pilgrim's passport is available in the church.

This medieval bridge dates from 1262. From its arches, there is a magnificent view of the city's other medieval bridge and the viaduct.

In front of the forecourt of the town hall of Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat, they welcome the public. Their presence, man or animal, is evocative. Don't know who made them, they are impressively real. Respect for the prowess of the artist.

The city of Saint Léonard de Noblat and richly endowed. Two medieval bridges and a railway viaduct. The pictures speak for themselves.

The reverse of the lock on the Vienne. The PDVs are up to par, if one is a little adventurous to descend the rocks of the dike. Be very carrefully. Miss Sally had a hard time both ways. the photos speak for themselves. A picture is worth a thousand words: Confusius.

Name dito, not seen from the outside. Not found exactly my exact site. No matter. Its freestone kiosk, its masonry vault, its railing and its arched dome, in bricks, attract the eye. A little further a ceremonial tower does not demerit the site. If you go through it, take the time to shop around to get rich.
