We went to St. Leon in the rain hoping to eat lunch in a little restaurant recommended by our hotel in Montignac but it was totally booked. Fortunately, we were able to see this remarkable Romanesque church that dates back to the 11th or 12th c. Its imposing stone exterior fits perfectly with the rest of the well-preserved ancient village. The two-story bell tower is set above the center of cruciform church, unusual in being more like a typical Greek Orthodox church, with the central nave ending in a simple, elegant apse with two flanking chapels. Some remains of early frescoes are still visible on the walls.
