Bellac |
|
n the North of the Haute-Vienne, overlooking the plain of Charente, the last hills between the Massif Central and the Atlantic are the gently-rounded Monts de Blond. The hills are wooded, and in the depths of the forest there are megaliths, stone crosses, hermitages and curiosities such as the rocking stone (see Haute-Vienne Miscellany). The main town is Bellac, birthplace of Jean Giraudoux, a town recently cleaned, polished and pedestrianised and still a little raw from the experience. |
