Things to see and do

Listed building, the church-temple Beaumont-lès-Valence was originally the church of a priory of the twelfth century. Deeply transformed during the religious wars, it knows several looting and sacking before being largely rebuilt in the first half of the eighteenth century on the orders of the Bishop of Valencia. Fully restored in the 1970s, it continues to be used by Catholics and Protestants.

Walking through the city, you can also discover the remains of the old ramparts of the fourteenth century, in the form of a tower that was originally used to access the village gate. Beaumont-lès-Valence also has a fortified gate of the fourteenth century equipped with a clock tower and a belfry inscribed historical monument, as well as a Renaissance tower in the heart of the old center.
