Beaumont-Lès-Valence: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Beaumont-lès-Valence showcases an unusual piece of local history with the Église-temple: in 1806, a partition wall was built between the nave and the choir, meaning that a church and a temple are housed under one shared roof.

Culture

The Pont sur la Véore also combines precise measurements with historical context. The bridge is 20 metres long and 1.30 metres wide, is listed as a Historic Monument, and is thought to date from the 17th or early 18th century.

The Fête des bouviers is part of the local tradition; it was established in 1851 in honour of agriculture. According to historical documentation, the festival continued after its founding; the ritual of electing a committee disappeared in 1962.
