Tombeau de saint Léonard, Religious sanctuary in Andouillé-Neuville, France

The Tombeau de Saint Léonard is a pilgrimage site at the edge of Borne Woods featuring a stone structure with religious inscriptions. The location serves as a place of devotion and draws regular visitors throughout the year.

The votive ensemble was erected in 1867 by residents of Andouillé-Neuville. Amédée Guillotin de Corson noted in 1884 that a Saint-Léonard chapel had existed in this wood since 1580, belonging to the monks of Gahard, and linked the tomb legend to it. Paul Sébillot published the legend in 1880 in Contes populaires de la Haute-Bretagne.

The site attracts visitors who seek help with school matters and leave personal items and handwritten prayers behind. This practice has taken root over time and shapes how the place looks today.

The tomb stands in the Bois de Borne at Andouillé-Neuville, north of Rennes. The plot is a circular gravel area enclosed by a low border, with the cross at its centre and two inscribed wooden signboards at the front; a curved metal arch rises above the cross. The ground is level and the site is visited on foot.

The legend of the child Lenard was published in 1880 by Paul Sébillot in his Contes populaires de la Haute-Bretagne. Amédée Guillotin de Corson noted in 1884 that a chapel of Saint Leonard already stood in this wood in 1580, belonging to the monks of Gahard, and linked the tomb's legend to it.
