Abbatiale Notre-Dame, Beaugency

Notre-Dame de Beaugency Abbey was built in the 12th century. It has witnessed major episodes in the history of France, particularly in relation to the Hundred Years War. Today fragmented between several establishments, it is open to visitors

Very pretty cathedral with nice light effects on the colourful windows. The entrance is free of course. I recommend you take few minutes inside at the end of the day when light go through it. Peaceful, relaxing, not much poeple around.

The abbey church of Beaugency is located in the center of the town, right next to the castle. It dates, for the oldest part, from the 12th century. This abbey is an imposing but sober church. Beautiful, very colorful stained-glass windows.

An abbey without a bell, the Saint-Firmin bell tower without a church provides the bells, replacing the bells of the abbey. A very pleasant abbey, for the expert tourist in search of heritage riches, for the walker in search of pretty things, or simply to discover this soothing place filled with ancient and rare architecture which is to be visited when you pass in Beaugency. Built in the 11th, 12th, 15th and 17th centuries, I really liked the Romanesque heart with an ambulatory and recent stained glass windows.

Beautiful church, the interior is really worth a look. Organ concert on the day of our arrival, that the places make really nice to hear. The stained glass showcase the interior perfectly.
