Bélus: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
In Bélus, geodetic markers are visible near the town hall and the Salle Maurice Dufau. Their history is connected with a resistance operation that began in 1943; the IGN astronomical brigade was partially stationed in Bélus.
Those who choose Bélus for their stay may wish to rent a holiday apartment there.
Culture and History
The apse of the Church of Notre Dame de l’Assomption dates from the early 16th century. The nave and chapels were rebuilt in 1945. The Caverie of Bélus, which dates from the 16th century, is also part of the historic town centre.
The Gardéra capcazalière house, known as “le château”, appears to date from the 17th century and has undergone later restorations. A monument honouring François Baco was erected in the centre of Bélus in 1952. The old Lucq sud house preserves windows with 16th-century tracery.
