Located in the heart of the Morvan forest, the village of Saint-Léger-Vauban is home to some interesting sights such as its 14th century church, its museum retracing the history of Vauban, and the artisanal jam factory "La Trinquelinette".

In front of this village church, there is a rather original little fountain. Excellent spot for a little break.
