What to do in Beaugency this weekend?

Nestling on the banks of the Loire, Beaugency's medieval heritage, cobbled streets and art of living will charm you. From cultural discoveries to open-air walks and escapes to nearby castle, you'll be spoilt for choice for an inspiring and memorable stay.

Discover the essentials: heritage and strolling

Start your escapade in the historic centre: the medieval bridge, Caesar Tower, abbey church and timber-framed houses make for a lively picture postcard. To organise your itinerary, take inspiration from the activities in Beaugency proposed this weekend by the tourist office and let yourself be guided by the atmosphere of the morning and late afternoon. A stone's throw from the monuments, the Hostellerie de l'Ecu de Bretagne welcomes you to an elegant former coaching inn - the ideal address for exploring on foot. Discover its warm and refined rooms.

Around the city: castle, forests and the Loire by bike

Throughout the year, the town comes alive with markets, exhibitions and intimate concerts. Check the Beaugency events calendar to make sure you don't miss a thing, and punctuate your day with gourmet stops on the terrace. If you're not sure whether to choose between heritage or nature, mix up your experiences: visit an exhibition in the morning, take an afternoon stroll along the banks of the Loire, dine in a convivial restaurant in the evening. If you want to extend the pleasure, plan a 2-day visit to Beaugency to savour the different atmospheres of the town without hurrying.

For those wondering what to see in Beaugency and the surrounding area, the answer can be summed up in one word: abundance. The game-filled forests, the Loire levees and the cycle routes create a mosaic of experiences. The curious can easily broaden their horizons with ideas for outings to find out what to do around Beaugency: walks along the riverbank, picnics along the water, discovering craftsmen's workshops.

Chambord is less than 30 minutes away, so plan a day out near Chambord to combine nature and Renaissance art.
