In Saint-Léger de Peyre, you can explore a heritage that is as much cultural as it is historical. Here, you’ll discover authentic houses and can enjoy the pleasant riverside setting for a picnic or a family afternoon out.

In days gone by, it was a bustling village thanks to its wool industry, with its cloth mills producing goods to be sold ‘across the seas’. Its trout and onions were a source of pride. Saint-Léger-de-Peyre lies at the confluence of two rivers: the Colagne and the Crueize. Take a stroll through the village and explore its cultural and historical heritage. You’ll discover authentic houses and can enjoy the pleasant riverside setting for a picnic or a family afternoon. Will you dare to venture into the Vallée de l’Enfer, which winds its way out of the village? Its very narrow road may make you feel a bit dizzy, but the view of the gorges and the Viaduct de l’Enfer will be well worth it! During your stopover in Saint-Léger de Peyre, don’t miss the chance to delve into the legend of the Beast of Gévaudan by visiting Les Loups du Gévaudan park, just a few minutes away in the hamlet of Sainte Lucie – an unusual and unforgettable experience!
