Village de Saint-Léon

Saint-Léon, or walk in the footsteps of the Templars? The church of Saint-Barthélémy, in the village, is a former dependency of the Commanderie d'Hospitaliers d'Argentens. You'll also be surprised by an authentic Celtic burial mound standing at the highest point of a path.

Saint-Léon, or walk in the footsteps of the Templars? The village church of Saint-Barthélémy is a former dependency of the Commanderie d'Hospitaliers d'Argentens, built by the Templars in the late 13th or early 14th century. Look up at its fortified bell tower and admire its architectural marvels, which will make you want to listen to the legends told by the old stones of the building. Saint-Léon will also surprise you with its archaeological curiosity, at a place called Lamothe: an authentic Celtic burial mound stands at the highest point of a path, inviting you to unravel its mysteries? Between the Landes and Garonne rivers, in the Gaubège valley just a stone's throw from the Garonne Canal, Saint-Léon invites you to take the time to breathe and enjoy a walk in the countryside.
