Things to see and do

Medieval village that is pleasant to discover. The haughty silhouette of the ruins of the castle of Léotoing (14th century) catches the eye, this veritable eagle's nest towering 200 meters above the Alagnon river.

Saint-Vincent Church: Romanesque in style, it has been listed as a Historic Monument since 1937. Visitors can admire the beautiful murals inside the building.

Arriving at the village of Léotoing, you will find the chapel of the Lepers with a very beautiful model of the village.

Laid out at the foot of the château, the terraced path leads you to discover two gardens: the Jardin d'Ici and the Orchard.

To discover the castle as it was in the 16th century, you must download the free application "Visit Léotoing".
