What is the meaning of the name "Bellière"?

Bellière is the name of a hamlet in France, where our ancestor Pierre-François, Marquis de Rougé, was born in 1701, he became a famous general but also a humanist of the mid-18th century Europe. His bust can still be admired in the Château de Versailles, in the "Museum of the French Glories". On the Bellière Estate, there once was an impressive castle, and even a gold mine! The Rougés have held the title of Marquis du Plessis-Bellière since 1651.

We create our perfumes in Provence, amongs the olive trees and roman ruins.
