The Manoir de Saint-Léon, also known as Donjon and Manoir de la Salle consists of a 15th century manor house and a square keep with a 12th century corner tower. This architectural ensemble constitutes a dwelling inhabited in the Middle Ages. It has been listed as a Historic Monument since 1957.
The Donjon et Manoir de la Salle features magnificent Lauze (local flat stone) roofs and an accessible watchtower. Inside, a wealth of furnishings and important collections (music, herbalism, medieval fantasy animals) have been left by past inhabitants.
Outside, a pleasant park planted with roses shelters a remarkable Cedar of Lebanon with a circumference of 8.30m, almost 300 years old.
In the early 2020s, Jean-Max Touron, already the owner of several historic sites in the département, acquired the Saint Léon manor house and opened it to the public for the first time in spring 2021.
