Set in the heart of the Alpes Mancelles nature reserve, Saint-Léonard-des-Bois is renowned for its outdoor activities. From Haut Fourché or Narbonne, you'll fall under the spell of these hilly and totally atypical landscapes.
The village of St Léonard des Bois is at the heart of the Alpes Mancelles conservation area, which is marked by a sudden escarpment. Its two mountains, Haut Fourché and Narbonne, rise to 217m and 203m respectively, providing natural vantage points for outdoor activities.
The hermit Saint Léonard: it was in the 6th century that this very pious recluse decided to settle in these unwelcoming lands and build his cell and oratory in honour of St Peter. A renowned evangelist, he attracted many pilgrims and founded the monastery of Vandoeuvre.
