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

The Saint Leonard's Tomb stands at the edge of Borne Woods, featuring stone construction and religious inscriptions dedicated to the local saint.

The tomb receives regular visits from students seeking academic success, with many leaving personal items and written prayers at the site.

Located 20 kilometers north of Rennes, the tomb is accessible via the former National Road 175 between Saint-Aubin-d'Aubigné and Sens-de-Bretagne.
