Hiker on the GR 652 at the Abbaye Nouvelle de léobardAn Abbeywhich is still rising
Despite its ruins, the Abbaye-Nouvelle is impressive. Its arches open onto the sky, its walls steeped in history, inviting silence. It’s not a static monument, but a place inhabited by light, memories and the breath of time. You enter on tiptoe, as if in a sacred place. Without instructions, but with respect.
Léobard is discreet all around. A few houses tucked away, paths lined with low walls, the rustle of leaves in the woods. It’s a village without artifice, rooted in its landscape. A perfect place to stop, listen and feel the calm returning.
Walking inQuiet paths
The area around Léobard is a constant invitation to take it easy. There’s no need to aim for a summit: here, every step counts. You cross a clearing, follow a low mossy wall, cross a spring. Sometimes you come across nothing at all. And that’s just fine.
Léobard doesn’t try to seduce. He’s offering. It’s up to you to say yes. And discover what silence can reveal.
