"L'histoire de la cloche du Belfry
Belfry (nom anglais) signifie beffroi en français. Le nom de l'hôtel vient de son emblème : une cloche qui siège à l'entrée du bâtiment. «L'idée est venue lors d'un voyage à Rome», explique Catherine Leguide. La cloche du Belfry a été fabriquée par la famille Paccard, en Savoie, qui est dans ce milieu depuis sept générations. Ils ont gravé cette cloche au nom de l'hôtel lourdais, et celle-ci sonne un «la». «On la fera sonner pour les grandes occasions», ajoute Laurent Leguide, qui souhaite pouvoir recevoir des mariages dans son hôtel."
