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.

Located in the heart of the village, the church of Saint-Yrieix-sous-Aixe dates from the 12th century and retains a Romanesque façade that is rare in Limousin. It was remodeled in the 15th century and restored in the 20th, with superb stained-glass windows by Francis Chigot. Listed as a Historic Monument, it houses remarkable furnishings, including an 18th-century altar and an octagonal baptistery decorated with polylobes.

Remarkable work, wonder if the park is open to the public.

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.

Emblem in Saint-Léonard-de Noblat. Pleasantly surprised to pass in front of this monument of printing. The site lives up to its reputation, imposing buildings, visited externally. The authentic aspect of the mill is very present, its weir, the overflow weir, the paddle wheel, are in perfect condition. Not having had the opportunity to visit the interior, something that I regret, but that I allow myself to advise. https://www.tourisme-hautevienne.com/patrimoine-et-visites/patrimoine-bati/musees-eco-musees-musees-thematiques/le-moulin-du-got-musee-vivant-de-la-papeterie- and-printing-12606

In rue Saint Léger, a stone's throw from the church, the Raby Fountain was built in the 13th century. She is one of the most beautiful I know. .anciensite.nature-patrimoine-montsdambazac.fr/_media/bv000001.lkdoc.histoire-1.pdf
