Discover Beaumont-Village: Murals, Plants and Animals

Beaumont-Village offers a range of ways to enjoy a stay: medieval murals, contemporary church architecture, succulent plants, animal-related activities, and a hiking trail. If you are looking for a hotel for your trip, these themes can help you narrow down what you would like to focus on. Culture, greenhouse visits, and farm experiences offer different perspectives on the village; the types of visits also vary.

Church art from the Middle Ages to the present

The church in Beaumont-Village houses murals dating from the 13th century. The Église Saint-Sylvain offers a different focus: it is a modern church with contemporary architecture, and frescoes adorn its walls. Historical murals and modern church architecture thus stand side by side as two distinct cultural attractions. The contrast is both chronological and stylistic: the 13th century is the specific point of reference for the church in Beaumont-Village, while Saint-Sylvain is defined by its contemporary architecture and frescoes. If you are including church art in your travel plans, you can choose between these two themes.

Succulent plants and workshops

La Végétalerie lets visitors tour its greenhouses, where succulent plants are grown. Its collection includes around 4,000 succulent plants; the number may change. La Végétalerie also offers workshops for adults and children. The tours and workshops offer different ways to explore the subject of plants: the greenhouses focus on cultivation, while the workshops are a separate activity for both age groups. Workshop dates may change, so check in advance which dates fit your stay.

Animal experiences with different arrangements

The educational farm in Beaumont-Village is aimed at children and families. Visitors can discover the park’s different animals on a self-guided walk. Signs near the enclosures provide information about the animals and support visitors’ zoological discovery. They complement what visitors see for themselves with explanations right by the enclosures. Visiting arrangements may change, so check the current conditions in advance. At Ferme de la Duterie, caring for animals is part of what is offered. Groups can book an activity about dairy cows there; the group program also includes learning to recognize different types of seeds and grains.

The practical difference between the two offerings is how they are arranged: the educational farm is visited on a self-guided walk, while the group activities at Ferme de la Duterie require a reservation. If you are planning a group visit, take this requirement into account when choosing.

The Chemin des légendes hiking trail

After crossing the Indrois, the Chemin des légendes hiking trail continues toward Beaumont-Village. If you include the trail in your travel plans, use the sequence of crossing the river and then heading toward the village as a guide.
