Tips from the Community
The Église Saint-Léonard was built in the 12th century and acquired its present form in the flamboyant Gothic style in the 15th and 16th centuries. During the French Revolution, the church was deprived of its sacred function, but in the 19th century, under architects such as Aristide Tourneux, it underwent extensive renovations, including a new main façade with a large rose window. Inside, 19th-century stained-glass windows depicting episodes from the life of Saint Léonard can be seen.

The renowned landscape painter and avant-garde colorist Emmanuel de la Villéon, who associated with the greatest independent painters of his time, experimented with different styles and brushstrokes. This collection of oil, pastel, gouache, charcoal, and ink paintings traces his career through selected works. The museum is usually open during school holidays in Zone B. The museum is currently closed due to leaks!
