Open the map.jpg in paint or photoshop. For each of the pigeon's flights, plot the route on the map. It spells out B-E-Z-I-E-R

Type bezier into the box on the main page, and click ok. You receive this message:

It seems that Leopold finally read his log-book but also went completely out of his mind : Issoire -> St-Etienne -> Trévoux -> Gannat -> Nevers -> Chalon-sur-Saône Or maybe he doesn't know how to spell these towns. Anyhow, he isn't in any of the towns referred in his log-book.

Plot these towns as well. This gives you an S. The final answer is beziers.
