Welcome to a magical and authentic place in the heart of P\u00e9rigord Noir<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Le Donjon, Manoir et Jardin de la <\/strong>Salle consists of a Tour-maitre<\/strong> (12\u1d49 century), a magnificent small Manoir <\/strong>(15\u1d49 century) and a romantic garden<\/strong> adorned with beautiful beds, trees and shrubs. This exceptional architectural ensemble<\/strong>, still inhabited since the Middle Ages, lies at the heart of the listed village of Saint-L\u00e9on-sur-V\u00e9z\u00e8re<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2021, the site has been open to the public. Rich furnishings<\/strong> and a number of important collections <\/strong>(music, herbalism, fantastic animals from the Middle Ages) bear witness to its past inhabitants.
The magnificent frameworks <\/strong>supporting the imposing lauze roof<\/strong>, and the tower’s parapet walk <\/strong>, are fully accessible and offer a beautiful panoramic view of the village<\/strong>. The site’s garden is home to a remarkable multi-century giant cedar<\/strong>, one of the jewels of the visit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u00e0 voir absolument !<\/div>

Un endroit vraiment splendide dans un petit village vraiment charmant.
\nVous pourrez d\u00e9ambuler dans le “ch\u00e2teau tour” et le visiter de la cave au grenier (v\u00e9ridique).<\/p>\n

Puis visiter le manoir attenant comprenant de nombreuses pi\u00e8ces meubl\u00e9s, cuisine, salon, salle de r\u00e9ception, chambres….vous emprunterez couloirs et escaliers jusque sous les combles o\u00f9 une \u00e9tonnante exposition vous attend.<\/p>\n

Deux lieux charg\u00e9s d’\u00e9motions. Son jardin vous permettra de contempler l’architecture des b\u00e2timents.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\u00c9difices historiques et parc \u00e0 visiter. La d\u00e9coration int\u00e9rieure des b\u00e2timents demanderait a \u00eatre plus sobre afin de mettre en valeur les pierres. Quelques belles pi\u00e8ces du mobilier se suffiraient \u00e0 elles-m\u00eames.<\/p>\n

La charpente et le toit de lauze sont impressionnants et la vue y est magnifique. Courage et gravissez les quelques marches…<\/p>\n<\/div>
