# Château de Chaban

Saint-Léon-sur-Vézère, Dordogne, Nouvelle-Aquitaine

Château de Chaban stands in Saint-Léon-sur-Vézère (Dordogne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century, 15th century, 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In the Vézère valley, the château de Chaban still bears traces of a 13th-century stronghold, destroyed at the end of the Middle Ages and rebuilt in stages through the 17th century. Its enclosed courtyard combines a large square tower topped with a dormer, a corbelled turret, and a separate round tower, the only direct remnant of the original fortress. Visitors mainly come for the exterior architecture and for the story linking this place to Jacques Chaban-Delmas's wartime code name.

**No visits on record.** No opening hours or ticketing found.
