Discover Labastide-Beauvoir

Labastide-Beauvoir offers three distinct points of interest to help you plan your trip: the Château de Labastide-Beauvoir, the Church of Notre-Dame de l’Assomption and the Boucle des trois châteaux. The château and church represent architectural and art history, while the hiking route offers a different focus for your stay. If you’re looking for a hotel, your main interest can be a good starting point: Would you like to focus primarily on the historic estate, sacred art or a hike? These topics can help you narrow down the purpose of your trip and tailor your accommodation search to your plans.

Château de Labastide-Beauvoir: architectural history and monument

Two statements should be distinguished when dating the château. It may originally date back to the time of Saint Louis. The clock tower, the Menagerie Tower, a dovecote and various outbuildings, however, were built between 1765 and 1769. Thus, a cautiously worded reference to its possible beginnings sits alongside a specific construction period for several of its components. The façades and roofs of the château and its outbuildings, as well as the decorated library on the ground floor of the north wing, are listed as a historic monument. The relevant decree is dated 27 June 1983. The protected area therefore includes both exterior elements and a specific interior space: the library in the north wing.

The Church of Notre-Dame de l’Assomption and its works of art

The Church of Notre-Dame de l’Assomption in Labastide-Beauvoir was rebuilt from 1853 to 1884. In the north aisle of the nave is the altarpiece of Sainte Philomène. It depicts the saint standing amid clouds, holding the martyr’s palm; arrows and a ship’s anchor are shown at her feet. The work is an oil painting on a two-part canvas. The subject and the support describe different aspects: the saint and her attributes belong to the scene depicted, while the two-part canvas describes the painting’s construction.

The church’s stained-glass windows also depict episodes from the life of the Virgin Mary: the Annunciation, the Nativity of Christ and the Assumption of Mary. They were made by Louis Victor Gesta in the second half of the 19th century. The altarpiece and windows represent different forms of sacred art: a single painting featuring Sainte Philomène on the one hand, and several episodes from Mary’s life in the windows on the other. The details can also be placed in context chronologically: the rebuilding from 1853 to 1884 and the creation of the windows in the second half of the 19th century concern different aspects of the church.

Hiking and trip planning

The Boucle des trois châteaux is a moderately difficult hiking route. It starts at Place de la Poste in Labastide-Beauvoir. This gives you both the type of activity and a specific starting point. For your trip planning, the hike is a different subject from the château’s architectural history or the church’s works of art: here you’re comparing a hiking activity with cultural interests, not two similar sightseeing options. Before setting out, check the latest route details and make sure the moderate rating suits your personal needs.

Find a hotel based on your travel interests

When searching for hotels in Labastide-Beauvoir, you can decide whether the château, the church’s works of art or the hike is the main reason for your trip. Then compare specific offers based on the requirements that matter for your stay. This helps you connect the purpose of your trip with your choice of hotel without treating them as the same thing.
