Beaux Village de France, Belves Nouvelle Aquitaine; Town of Seven Bell Towers.


Belves is a lovely and lively medieval town, with a typical bastide layout and centre, and a preserved 15th century covered market hall. The town is well worth a visit. In the centre of the town you can visit some troglodyte dwellings that date from around the 13th century. In the town you can also see the medieval belfry and walls, a 14th century castle, and the city hall. Belves is famous as being the 'town of seven bell towers'. You will enjoy a pleasant afternoon wandering the streets and alleys of Belves - note that it is listed as 'one of the "most beautiful villages" in France' and deservedly so - it really is very charming.
