He founded the École nationale des ponts et chaussées (School of Civil Engineering) in 1747, with Jean-Rodolphe Perronet, engineer of the généralité of Alençon, as its head. As head of civil engineering for the French state, Trudaine demonstrated his brilliance, creating several thousand kilometres of royal routes (now known as the "routes nationales") linking Paris to France's frontiers and main seaports. This network was one of the best designed in Europe, with routes built as straight as possible, laid out "de clocher à clocher" (from steeple to steeple), 60 feet (19.4 m) wide, bordered with trees and bound with ditches that were linked to rivers. Trudaine was also responsible for the planning and construction of the Place Royale in Reims and other urban projects.

(Paris 1955), and as Luethy, France against Herself (New York: Praeger 1955), pp. 272–273, 274 (the 1950 settler 'revolt' against the reform agreement between the French colonial administration and Tunisian nationalists).

The tower rests on 4 pillars each side of a height of 3.20 m. When comparing the light-weight of the pillars to the height of the tower they support, one can hardly understand that this massive structure stands on apparently such a weak foundation. Magnificent specimen of "clocher à jour" the granite spire is an octagon pierced by 80 openings which do not let the wind buffet it. The north porch (flamboyant style) is more work than the south porch (contrary to the tradition of the period).

The term for the locality in 1147 comes from the Latin bellom jugum, meaning "beautiful mountain". It then became Bèl jog, a confusion with the Occitan bèl joc which means beau jeu in French. The name of the hamlet Clucheret seems to come from its status as a parish which would have earned it the name of Clocher (Bell tower). The name of the Chappe summit (1667 m) which borders Prads-Haute-Bléone is in memory of the existence of a semaphore visual telegraph relay station called telegraph Chappe after Claude Chappe who designed it in 1794.

Initially made as filler for a blank page, the story, written by Jacqueline Rivière and drawn by Joseph Pinchon, was such a success that new pages regularly appeared, still in the guise of page fillers. Only in 1913 did Bécassine become the heroine of more structured stories. Still drawn by Pinchon, the stories were then written by Caumery (pseudonym of Maurice Languereau), one of the associates of Gautier-Languereau, the publisher of La Semaine de Suzette. At that time, the character's real name was revealed to be Annaïck Labornez, her nickname coming from her home village, called Clocher-les-Bécasses.

An ambulatory with radiating chapels (chevet) is part of the design (though at the 15th-century choir in Breda added later on). Whereas the cathedrals in Brussels and Antwerp are notable exceptions, the main porch is straight under the single west tower, in French called clocher-porche. Pillar bundle columns (on this side), and frieze of tracery (underneath windows), in the Cathedral of Our Lady in Antwerp An alternative type originated with the cathedral of Antwerp: instead of round columns with a capital impost, bundled pillars profiled in the columns continue without interruption through the ribs of vaults and arches – a style followed for churches in 's-Hertogenbosch and Leuven. In addition, the pier arches between nave and aisles are exceptionally wide, and the triforium is omitted.

At 2,320 m, the path turns right to avoid a gravel field called Liapey d'Enfer, and at 2,435 m reaches Remointse de Bréona, the temporary and more elevated shelters of the alpage. The Bréona pasture stretches from here to 2,600 m and above, with a well structure indicated at 2,623 m. From here, the path ascends to Col de Bréona at 2916, separating the Serra Neire to the southwest from the Couronne de Bréona to the southeast, and via Col du Tsaté (2,868) traversing to Pinte du Bandon (3,064 m) to the northwest. Beyond the main peak of Couronne de Bréona is a secondary summit, called Clocher de la Couronne at 3,101 m, separated by the Col de la Couronne (2,987 m) from Pointe de Moiry (3,303) to the south.

The commune started to develop on an island encircled by a sweep of the river Dronne next to the Benedictine Abbey of Brantôme, which was founded in 769 by Charlemagne; according to legend he donated relics of Saint Sicarius (Sicaire), one of the infants in the Massacre of the Innocents. Those relics attracted pilgrims to the abbey, who also brought a certain affluence to Brantôme, but in spite of St. Sicaire's protection, the abbey was laid waste in 848 and in 857 by Viking rovers who had advanced along the Dordogne and Isle rivers to the Dronne. The abbey was rebuilt towards the end of the tenth century and again in 1465 and in 1480 after the end of the Hundred Years' War. Its Romanesque bell-tower is a competitor for the title "oldest in France"Viollet-le-Duc included a drawing of it in his Dictionnaire to illustrate the entry "clocher".
