Part of the path forming boundary between the communes of Saint-Léon-sur-Vezère and Peyzac-le-Moustier, on the edge of the lower terrace of the Moustier: classification by order of 6 October 1931
Origin and history
The Vicinal Road located in Saint-Léon-sur-Vézère is a historical monument whose particularity lies in its function of territorial delimitation. It forms the border between the communes of Saint-Léon-sur-Vézère and Peyzac-le-Moustier, bordering the lower terrace of the Moustier. This route, which is now protected, demonstrates the importance of local communication channels in the organisation of rural areas, particularly in the Dordogne, where the Vicinal Roads played a key role in the daily exchange and movement of people.
Ranked by ministerial decree on October 6, 1931, this road illustrates the attention paid to the vernacular heritage and the often neglected historical infrastructures. Although little documented in available sources, its status as a Historic Monument underscores its heritage value, linked to its integration into the landscape and its role in local administrative history. The approximate location between the GPS coordinates of Peyzac-le-Moustier and the official address of Saint-Léon-sur-Vézère reflects the challenges of cartographic accuracy for this type of linear and discreet monument.
