Beaumont-de-Lomagne

Beaumont-de-Lomagne spans 146 square kilometers in the Tarn-et-Garonne department at an elevation of 155 meters, crossed by the Gimore River which contributes to shaping its rural and agricultural landscape.

Founded in 1276 as a bastide through a coregency act between Grandselve Abbey and King Philip III of France, the commune received a comprehensive charter in 1278 establishing residents' rights and responsibilities.

Pierre de Fermat, the famous mathematician born around 1601 in the commune, is honored through a statue and museum dedicated to his work, notably his famous Last Theorem which marks the town's scientific heritage.

The commune has approximately 3,754 inhabitants in 2025, features two middle schools, three primary schools and three high schools, plus 13 general practitioners to ensure local healthcare services.

The fortified church begun in 1280 displays an apse influenced by Cistercian architecture and a 15th-century bell tower reminiscent of Toulouse's Saint-Sernin, having served as an episcopal seat until 1432.
