The region of Bcharré contains a remarkable cultural heritage. It is in the village of Bcharré that the famous poet and painter Gebran Khalil Gebran was born, with worldwide (even universal) influence and whose museum, established in a former monastery, can be visited here, in an idyllic setting marked by the presence of famous cedars of God.

This region plays a huge role in the history of Christians: the Quadisha Valley, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has many hermitages dating back to the first phase of the expansion of Christianity. This valley gave shelter to the first Christians fleeing persecutions. It features numerous monasteries overlooking the cliffs, with walls hollowed out with natural caves, some decorated with frescoes, as a mark of Maronite hermitism.  It is also in the region of Bcharré, precisely in the village of Beqaa Kafra, that Saint Charbel was born: this hermit monk is one of the greatest saints in Lebanon.

In Bcharré region, the Qadisha Valley is also a treasure of nature. It offers vertiginous landscapes, which never cease to fascinate foreign tourists and locals as well. You can move around on footpaths and enjoy the view and atmosphere of this valley. The region contains magnificent hiking trails, dotted with many points of interest. It is also the location of the Cedars of God : this forest invites walkers to peace and meditation.
