Beaugency is located in the 'Valley of the Kings' - on the Loire River to the north of Valencay and between Blois and Orleans, in the Loiret department of the Loire Valley.

A notable event in the turbulent history of the town was the Battle of Beaugency, a series of battles led by Joan of Arc in 1429 in which the region was recaptured from the English. The tower in the town - Tour Cesar - dates from the 11th century and played an important role in the battle. This was an important victory becuse the town controlled the only river crossing in the region.

The event is marked by a statue of Joan of Arc in the town (near the donjon).

(A second Battle of Beaugency took place during the Prussian invasion of France in 1870, when much of the French army was defeated near the town).

The castle keep is the main attraction in Beaugency, now a quiet agricultural town with several highlights to detain you.

The other medieval sights include two churches (Abbey Church and Saint Etienne Church): the clocktower; and the 16th century town hall, with its ornately decorated facade. The town hall also contains an impressive collection of eight wall hangings.

The Maison des Templiers, dating from the 12th century, also has an unusual facade, while the long, many-arched bridge, across the river in Beaugency dates from the 14th century.
