Beaulieu

Beaulieu covers 18.06 square kilometers across rolling hills of the Perche region, featuring agricultural lands, forests, and scattered hamlets with approximately 203 inhabitants called Belloquois.

The village name derives from Latin 'bellus locus' meaning beautiful place, with historical traces dating to the 10th century including defensive structures built during Henri II Plantagenet's reign in 1168.

The commune houses Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption church containing classified historical artifacts including a 15th-century Virgin and Child statue and stone tombstones from medieval periods.

The town hall operates on Monday and Thursday afternoons from 1:30 PM to 4:00 PM, providing administrative services while the Aire des Routis recreation area offers mini-golf and walking trails.

Despite having only ten houses and twenty-one hamlets, Beaulieu contains five small châteaux and merges landscapes from three distinct natural regions: Perche hills, Ouche bocage country, and Beauce plains.
