Beaugency is a convenient stopover for us. It is a lovely old village with many bars and restauants but with modern conveniences (supermarkets etc) nearby, and not too far from the motorway network.

Lovely town with historic centre and market on a Saturday. Several restaurants and bars to choose from. Friendly locals. Lovely area for nature lovers / wine lovers and history lovers. Close to Orleans and Blois and chateaux.

Beaugency is a typical Loire-side town and ancient bridging point. Well served by the primary routes along the valley the outskirts are those of a modern, bustling market town with all the facilities one would expect. The heart of the old town is found on the northern end of the graceful bridge and is centred on the masive defensive feudal keep. No elegant rennaissance palace, this. A stamp of lordly power from the 12th. & 13th. centuries the castle has echos of Joan of Ark and The Hundred Years War, right down to the present with a major surrender of German forces at the end of the last war. In the old town there are fine buildings and narrow alleys, a charming square with cafes, the excellent coaching inn (L'Ecu de Bretagne), and the remains of the seigneural domaine around the keep. Walks along the river are a little difficult to navigate as the old main road runs along the bank and is very busy. All-in-all, a lovely town for a long stay to explore the Chateaux, the wines and the history of the Loire

Beaugency is a pretty little town and although we have only ever used it as a stop off on our way down south I’m sure you could happily spend a few days here wandering round the old town, visiting the chateau, walking by the river and eating out in the wide range of restaurants.

Good location for a quiet overnight stay on the way to south - west France. Interesting and attractive old town on the Loire. Easy to walk around and visit the river, ancient bridge etc. Several restaurants to choose from for dinner.

This is our second overnight stop in Beaugency, so you can tell that we liked it ! There is a good variety of bars and restaurants . There are plenty of shops and supermarkets. There is also a hypermarket on the edge of town for fuel etc. Beaugency is a very pleasant place with beautiful buildings.
