Labyrinthe de Beaugency

Labyrinthe de Beaugency, Maize maze in Beaugency, Loiret, France.

The Labyrinthe de Beaugency is a maize-field maze covering about 4 hectares, cut into a trapezoid split by a central path into a square and a triangle. Its straight intersecting alleys, up to 2,500 metres in total and 2.40 metres wide, run between walls of maize that reach 2 metres by early July. A low blue wall with a yellow arch and the words "Labyrinthe de Beaugency" marks the entrance.

The maize maze opened on 8 July 2004 on the initiative of Jean-Claude Guilloteau. In 2010 it won the Trophée du tourisme du Loiret and was invited to the Salon mondial du tourisme in Paris. In 2025 Dylan Lauzanne and Florian Roy took over its management.

Each year the maze is replanted with a new layout and a new theme, from Captain Hook in 2009 to Peter Pan in 2022 and Fee Carabosse in 2024. Since 2005 riddles for adults and children mark the route, and costumed actors play characters tied to the annual story. The emblem is a witch with a bird's head, long nose and orange cape, kept from the 2004 season.

The maze lies northeast of Beaugency's centre, between the Mauve and the right bank of the Loire, near the La Loire à vélo route and the GR 3 trail. Paths are 2.40 m wide and total up to 2,500 m, with a central alley doubling as an escape route and several emergency exits. Allow up to 1 h 30 to find the way out.

The maze's emblem is a witch, kept as its symbol because she was the most memorable character of the 2004 season; she is drawn with a bird's head, a long nose, hooked hands and an orange cape. A haunted version opened in the first season, when visitors entered at nightfall carrying torches.
