Saint-Leon-sur-Vezere, Dordogne - travel guide
Visit Saint-Leon-sur-Vezere
St Leon sur Vezere is in the Vezere valley between Montignac and Les Eyzies.
It is a beautiful village, set in a curve in the Vézere River. It is a small village, of houses in the attractive local stone joined by narrow meandering pathways and alleys. Remarkably for a village of this kind in this location, St Leon sue Vezere has not been overly renovated - rather 'sympathetically restored'.
The church in the centre of the village is also small but perfectly formed.
You will find a couple of cafes and restaurants on the 'main road' plus a little cafe hidden away on the edge of the river, but few other facilities or gift shops. Picnic space can be found on the edge of the river.
The Vezere Valley itself is, of course, the cradle of civilisation in Europe, so there are a large number of caves and prehistoric dwellings to explore in the region. - not least, the renowned Lascaux II Caves are also close by at Montignac (see Dordogne caves section).
Saint Leon sur Vezere is listed as one of the 'most beautiful villages of France'.
