Saint-Léon: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Landscape and Water

Saint-Léon has a predominantly rural landscape, with agricultural and viticultural areas alternating with forestry areas. The Canaudonne rises in Saint-Léon and flows into the Dordogne at Moulon on the left bank.

Anyone considering Saint-Léon as a travel destination will want to find a holiday apartment that suits their travel plans.

Cycling

The Bordeaux–Créon stage of the route known as the Roger Lapébie cycling route is 23 km long. The cycle path, built along a former railway line, runs via Créon and close to La Sauve-Majeure Abbey to Bordeaux.

Culture

Moulin de Faugère is located at the hamlet of Faugère in Saint-Léon. The streams ruisseau de Troussepaille and ruisseau de Faugère flow through or alongside the structure. The main construction phases of Moulin de Faugère date from the 18th and 19th centuries; the mill used water power generated on site.

The Église Saint-Léon is a rectangular 16th- and 17th-century church with three bays; the eastern bay serves as the sanctuary. Of the bays that were originally vaulted, only the eastern rib vault with liernes and tiercerons has been preserved.

The rectangular main building of Château de Châteauneuf is flanked by two round towers on its western side.

Wine

Château de Castelneau offers a visit to its cellar rooms with a wine tasting. At the château, the encapsulation and finishing of the bottles are carried out on site using traditional craftsmanship.
