Beaugency, Medieval commune in Loire Valley, France
Beaugency stands on the northern bank of the Loire River, featuring narrow stone streets and buildings constructed with local limestone materials.
The town gained prominence in the 12th century when its lords built a stone castle to replace the wooden fortress established by Lancelin I de Beaugency.
The Notre-Dame Abbey Church from the 11th century represents the religious heritage of Beaugency with its Romanesque architecture and carved capitals.
The central market square hosts weekly gatherings every Saturday morning where vendors sell local produce, cheeses, meats, and regional specialties.
The marriage between Eleanor of Aquitaine and Louis VII was officially annulled in 1152 at Notre-Dame de Beaugency, changing French medieval history.
