Introducing Bcharré
A pretty, welcoming town in the heart of the Qadisha Valley, Bcharré is a terrific place for stopping off en-route to the Cedars or to base yourself for a few days while exploring the wild valley below. Famous as the birthplace of Khalil (or Kahlil, as some locals insist) Gibran and the stronghold of the right-wing Maronite Christian Phalange party, the town makes a pleasant stroll and a good place to stock up on picnic provisions to fill your rucksack.
