a monastic town

Beaulieu-les-Loches

The town of Beaulieu-lès-Loches, awarded ‘Little city of character®’ and ‘Town & creative profession’ status, has been developed around a Benedictine abbey founded in 1007 by Fulk III Nerra. Various testimonies to this medieval city’s rich historical past are reflected in its stonework.

Medieval heritage

Like a lighthouse guiding visitors from Loches,  the Romanesque bell tower is one of the highest in France, reaching over sixty-seven meters. Along the streets and the canal, the atmosphere is peaceful with numerous possibilities for walks revealing old tuffeau stone or timber-framed houses, turrets,  sculptures, vaults, mullioned windows, craftsmen’s workshops, and charming little nooks.

Art, handcraft and nature

This peaceful town is crossed by the Indre River and is connected to the Prairies du Roy, a ‘Special Area of Conservation’ featuring works of contemporary art. Take a moment to picnic or rest in the shade, in the Viantaises gardens. Flowers, vegetables, creativity, and poetry flourish in the environment. A large table underneath some trees, swaddled in squares of coloured wool, is an invitation to socialize. Take along a picnic basket filled with tasty treats for an indulgent moment with friends or family!
