FROM A BELVEDERE: BEAUTY IN THE EYES OF THE BEHOLDER

The last time I was in Clermont-Ferrand--and that was several years ago, restoration of the romanesque basilica masterpiece, Notre-Dame-du-Port, a UNESCO world heritage site, was just underway. The completed results are laudable, as is the thoughtful emplacement of a belvedere on the upper floor of an adjacent building to afford visitors a commanding view of the the church's exquisite mosaics and roofing.
