The church tower can be visited in high season, where you can discover an incredible panorama of Fougères as well as its monuments and the surrounding countryside.
Here you will have the opportunity to discover the secret interior of its tower, its impressively large bell and of course... a spectacular 360° view of the city, the castle and the valley!

The Église Saint-Léonard was built in the 12th century and acquired its present form in the flamboyant Gothic style in the 15th and 16th centuries. During the French Revolution, the church was deprived of its sacred function, but in the 19th century, under architects such as Aristide Tourneux, it underwent extensive renovations, including a new main façade with a large rose window. Inside, 19th-century stained-glass windows depicting episodes from the life of Saint Léonard can be seen.
