La petite ville de Bellême

Bellême (pop. 1,500) feels like a much bigger town than it is. It's only 20 minutes by car from Mortagne-au-Perche. Walt, our friends, and I spent a few hours there on a nice sunny day. People were obviously enjoying food and drink at an outdoor café. It was market day in the town, so that was fun. We had a good lunch in a restaurant. We were fascinated watching a crew of roofers working on an old building.
