Only about 250 people live in Saint-Léger-sur-Vouzance, so a boulangerie, that belonged to every French village, may have been closed already long ago. Mostly boulangeries were followed by a "dépôt de pain", where baguettes could be bought from a bakery, that may heve still existed in the next village. Now these dépôts seem to get replaced by vending machines. This was the first machine selling bread I saw in France. The machine even accepts credit cards! The telephon booth on the right is on the list "Last Chance to see".

The church in Saint-Léger-sur-Vouzance, erected in the 12th century, was locked. A lady invited me to enter her garden, next to the church, and have a look around the church. She was the owner of this nice, blue Citroën Dyane. The design of this car was based on the (little) more basic Citroën 2CV (= "deux chevaux"). About 1.4 millions were manufactured from 1967 - 1983. I drove a 2CV in the early 70s, - with exactly the same blue.
