Tips
Standing south of the historic center, the belfry of Besse is the only memory of the three old fortified gates of Besse.
Adorned with battlements and topped with a clock, the gate dates from the Hundred Years War.
The gate is an essential historic passage on the long-distance hiking trails that criss-cross the region.translated by

The center of Besse is teeming with old buildings built in Besse stone, quite similar to Volvic stone. This is for example the case of the belfry and the gate which are defensive structures dating from the 15th century.
