Magnificent, well-maintained, inhabited residence.

Located in the city center, this building dates back to the 15th century. A former medieval fortress, it was largely rebuilt during the Renaissance. The castle is famous for having hosted Francis I and Louis XIV for a night on July 15, 1680, in the north tower.

The Cathedral of Beauvais is one of the most important Gothic churches in France 🇫🇷!

You have to take advantage of this towpath in good weather. Possibility of various rentals for mountain bike lovers, quite a few circuits in the surrounding area. Very beautiful region which is not so flat.

Behind the cathedral you can still find a piece of the city fortifications dating from the 4th century, originally 1370 meters long and with 18 towers. The wall is decorated with cubic stones in the Pastoreaux pattern, which can be found similarly on the remains of the historic Roman city wall around Cologne. In the Middle Ages, the wall served to demarcate the episcopal district.

It is always nice to meet old friends again, especially when it happens unexpectedly. When you enter the wonderful but only half-finished cathedral of Beauvais, you are greeted by the famous image of St. Peter from St. Peter's Basilica. This fits with the building's claim: the highest Gothic vault, the highest church tower, the largest church in France. However, it is a Gothic Babel: the vault and tower collapsed, and that was the end of money and Gothic architecture. The cathedral is a huge torso, the nave of which is a comparatively tiny Romanesque building that stands lost in front of the huge, centuries-old temporary dividing wall that the nave was supposed to replace.
