Besse

Highlight • Settlement

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.

Besse-et-Saint-Anastaise

Highlight • Settlement

Nestled in the foothills of the Sancy massif, the village of Besse-et-Saint-Anastaise occupies a natural crossroads between the Monts Dore to the north, the Cézallier plateau to the south and the Artense plateau to the west.

A former great commercial city during the Middle Ages, the city of 1,400 inhabitants is now renowned as a real Auvergne Canada.

In the space of a few hours, you can discover many architectural treasures ranging from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance.

You will also find all the amenities there, from catering to the sports shop, including accommodation.
