Magnificent

Highly recommended

(Translated by Google) An abbey church without a bell, the Saint-Firmin bell tower without a church provides ringing, replacing the bells of the abbey church. A completely pleasant abbey, for the expert tourist in search of heritage riches, for the walker in search of pretty things, or simply to discover this soothing place full of ancient and rare architecture which is to be visited when passing by. in Beaugency. Built in the 11th, 12th, 15th and 17th centuries, I really liked its Romanesque heart with an ambulatory and recent stained glass windows. (Original) Une abbatiale sans cloche, le clocher Saint-Firmin sans église assure les sonneries, remplaçant les cloches de l'abbatiale. Une abbatiale tout à fait plaisante, pour le touriste expert à la recherche de richesses patrimoniales, pour le promeneur en quête de jolies choses, ou simplement pour découvrir ce lieu apaisant empli d'architectures anciennes et rares qui est a visiter lorsque l'on passe à Beaugency. Construite aux 11ème, 12ème, 15ème et 17ème siècles, un cœur roman avec déambulatoire et des vitraux récents m'ont beaucoup plu.

Nice little place in the middle of Beaugency. Simple cuisine, tasty and very reasonable price. You could also get local products to go, from excellent beers, to wines or even local whiskey. It was a good choice all in all. Plus very dog friendly!

Great place to stop for a beer and a charcuterie board. They also had quite a lot of different soft drinks for those not drinking. Lots of umbrellas to hide from the sun if needed.

Terrible terrible meal. Worst meal I ever had in France and have been here a lot! Charcuterie and cheese probably bought in Lidl or similar discount store. Pasta completely tasteless. Not worth spending time, calories nor money here :(.

Lovely small restaurant, owner had stopped serving lunch but put together a charcuterie board for us. Would recommend!

Great place to taste La Loire flavors ! Beers and local wines available

Incredible tower which is almost 1000 years old in this beautiful town

(Translated by Google) A rare and truly impressive relic. At the foot of the 1000 year old building, I was really impressed by its size and the quality of the construction.

These places look dark and gothic! You can feel the negative past in these places!

(Translated by Google) The so-called Caesar Tower, an emblematic monument of Beaugency which can only be visited during European Heritage Days and which can be seen from afar before arriving in town. Small regret that it cannot be visited like the Loches tower or the Montrichard dungeon which have metal structures which allow you to reach the summit and have a nice view point (Original) La tour dite de César, monument emblématique de Beaugency qui se visite uniquement lors des journées européennes du patrimoine et que l’on aperçoit de loin avant d’arriver en ville. Petit regret qu’elle ne se visite pas comme la tour de Loches ou le donjon de Montrichard qui disposent de structures métalliques qui permettent d’atteindre le sommet et d’avoir un joli point de vue

(Translated by Google) Keep with a height of 36 m. Romanesque military architecture from the 11th century. Located opposite the Saint Firmin bell tower, the abbey and the statue of Joan of Arc. This is the case, suddenly we have in front of us an impressive wall... which stands like an impregnable citadel. (Original) Donjon d'une hauteur de 36 m. Architecture militaire romane du 11ème siècle. Situé en face le clocher Saint Firmin, l'abbaye et la statue de Jeanne d'Arc . C'est le cas le dire, soudainement on a en face de soi un mur..... impressionnant qui se dresse comme une citadelle imprenable.

(Translated by Google) 50 m high, a beautiful bell tower without a church: these are the remains of the parish church of Beaugency which became the church of Notre-Dame Abbey. It suffered greatly over the centuries, the nave was destroyed and the bell tower was rebuilt, equipped with a set of 3 bells. This carillon strikes up the tune of a song, "the carillon of Vendôme", today a children's song, but which was created at the time when the dauphin (Charles VII) lost all except five cities, only four of which are mentioned in the song. My friends, what remains? To this kind Dolphin? Orleans, Beaugency, Notre-Dame de Cléry, Vendôme, Vendôme! Why is the town of Bourges not mentioned? Either Bourges does not appear in the song out of modesty of the inhabitants of Bourges where the song was created, or it is out of irony that only small towns are mentioned in order to demean this “little king of Bourges” A “little king” who reigned for 40 years, recovering his prestige, his history being linked to that of Joan of Arc who had him crowned. (Original) 50 m de haut, un beau clocher sans église : ce sont les restes de l’église paroissiale de Beaugency qui devint l’église de l’abbaye Notre-Dame. Elle a beaucoup souffert au cours des siècles, la nef fut détruite et le clocher fut reconstruit, équipé d'un ensemble de 3 cloches. Ce carillon entonne l’air d’une chanson, "le carillon de Vendôme", aujourd’hui chanson enfantine, mais qui fut créée à l’époque où le dauphin (Charles VII) perdit tout sauf cinq villes dont quatre seulement sont citées dans la chanson. Mes amis, que reste-t-il ? À ce Dauphin si gentil ? Orléans, Beaugency, Notre-Dame de Cléry, Vendôme, Vendôme ! Pourquoi la ville de Bourges n'est-elle pas citée ? Soit Bourges n’apparaît pas dans la chanson par modestie des habitants de Bourges où la chanson fut crée, soit c’est par ironie que seules les petites villes sont citées dans le but de rabaisser ce « petit roi de Bourges » Un "petit roi" qui régnera 40 ans récupérant son prestige, son histoire étant liée à celle de Jeanne d'Arc qui le fera couronner.

(Translated by Google) I have just discovered that the castle has been closed since the end of 2018, after 4 years of opening which followed 14 years of closure. I was therefore one of the last visitors in May 2018. I can only hope for a reopening as soon as possible of this charming, little-known castle but whose visit is fun and enriching. (My comment on this visit: the reception staff are friendly. A tabulet as a guide and I'm off for a visit. The tabulet is intuitive, and exploring the place where Joan of Arc's companion in arms lived is quite motivating) (Original) Je viens de découvrir que le château est fermé depuis fin 2018, après 4 ans d'ouverture qui avait succédé à 14 ans de fermeture. J'ai donc été un des dernier visiteur en mai 2018. Je ne peux que souhaiter une réouverture au plus vite de ce charmant château peu connu mais dont la visite est ludique et enrichissante. (Mon commentaire sur cette visite : le personnel à l'accueil est chaleureux. Une tabulette comme guide et me voila parti pour une visite.

(Translated by Google) A tower still standing. Beaugency is a town that is definitely worth the detour and worth taking the time to walk around. Castle, abbey church, Saint-Firmin bell tower, Caesar tower etc...
