Château de Beaulieu, Guest house and historic monument in Saumur, France
The château de Beaulieu is a private guest house and listed historic monument from the 18th century in Saumur, Maine-et-Loire. The stone building sits close to the Loire River and is surrounded by a park with old trees.
The château was built in 1727 by Jean Drapeau, a royal architect of the region. It was officially listed as a historic monument in 1987, giving it legal protection.
The château operates as a private guest house, so access is reserved for guests staying there. Those passing through the area can view the building and its park from outside, particularly the stone facade and old trees.
In the park, there is a giant sequoia tree that is protected as a rare specimen. The former French Prime Minister Michel Debré visited the property in the 1940s and later recalled the warm welcome he received there.
