Beaucouzé: Discover culture and trails

Beaucouzé offers several clearly distinct points of interest for planning a stay: exhibitions at the Grange Dîmière, art trails, a tour of buildings in the town centre, and walking trails. If you are looking for a hotel in Beaucouzé, these themes can help you narrow down the focus of your stay. Cultural events, a town-centre tour and the surrounding landscape appeal to different interests.

Exhibitions and art trails

The Grange Dîmière hosts around twelve exhibitions a year as part of its cultural season. This approximate figure for the annual programme may change over time. Admission to the exhibitions is free, and they are open to everyone. Check the current programme and access arrangements before your visit so that your plans suit the exhibition in question.

Another cultural highlight is the art trail along the Coulée verte des Echats, which connects several neighbourhoods in Beaucouzé. The art trail was renamed Promenade Frida Kahlo in 2024. That same year, it was expanded with Bancs de Poissons, a work created as part of an artistic residency. It was supported by the Maine-et-Loire Department and through cultural sponsorship from LogiOuest. The cultural offerings therefore also differ in form: the exhibition programme takes centre stage at the Grange Dîmière, while the Promenade Frida Kahlo combines art with a route connecting several neighbourhoods.

Tours and landscape

The Parcours urbain was inaugurated in 2015 and leads to seven buildings in the centre of Beaucouzé. It is distinct from the Promenade Frida Kahlo: the Parcours urbain focuses on buildings in the town centre, while the art trail follows the Coulée verte des Echats and connects several neighbourhoods. This allows you to choose a tour that suits your interest in buildings or art in public spaces.

Beaucouzé has around ten walking trails ranging from 1 to 10 km in length. This range spans short distances and longer routes, allowing you to compare them by distance. The number and selection of trails may change; check the latest information when choosing a specific route.

The Parcs Saint-Nicolas cover 172 hectares and extend across Angers, Avrillé and Beaucouzé. The figures describe different things: the walking trails are described by their lengths, while the Parcs Saint-Nicolas are described by an area spanning three municipalities. This makes it possible to distinguish individual trails from the landscape of a park that spans several municipalities.

Getting to the Maison de la Culture et des Loisirs

The Maison de la Culture et des Loisirs can be reached by Irigo bus line 2 to the Grand Pin stop. As bus routes and stops may change, check the connection before travelling.
