While the village of Belpech, located on the last foothills of the Hills of the Pi\u00e8ge, was mentioned for the first time in the 11th century, a Gallo-Roman locality called Garnac would have pre-existed near the medieval village. From the remarkable Romanesque portal of its church to the Baltard-style halls, and including some beautiful timber-framed fa\u00e7ades, or Gothic windows, the village, dominated by the Tour du Castelas (Castelas Tower) and the Chapelle du Rosaire (Rosary Chapel), is well worth a visit.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
