Saint-Maurin is located in the hollow of a green valley where the Escorneboeuf flows. To see: its half-timbered houses, its market hall, the remains of the Benedictine abbey from the 11th and 12th centuries and its abbey castle built in 1500.

The construction of Saint-Maurin Abbey dates from the end of the 11th century, following its affiliation with Moissac Abbey and the Benedictine order. This large monastic ensemble spread out to numerous surrounding churches and priories, as many possessions which showed its influence and importance within a radius of 20 kilometers. Ruined then restored several times during the Hundred Years' War and during the Wars of Religion, it was during the Revolution that the buildings were sold in batches. Today, you can still admire the choir of the old abbey church as well as two chapels, the cloister, the convent buildings, the abbey castle and its gardens.

Overlooking the valley from its promontory, the town of Beauville seems to be one with the rock. To see: the corner square, surrounded by stone and half-timbered houses, the Saint-Jacques church, dating from the 14th century (with its Renaissance door and the bell tower-porch). It is said that during the Hundred Years' War, Beauville, formerly called Boville (city of the Ox), triumphantly resisted the attacks of the English.

Old fortified castle, located on a rocky promontory, defending the village of Beauville. It is made up of thick surrounding walls, a protective half-moon. The foundations and bases date from the end of the 13th century. About half of the building dates from the 16th century (mullioned windows). The Renaissance architecture is present in the front door and the fireplaces. Finally, a wing of the building was rebuilt in the 19th century. From 1831 to 1976, the building served as a gendarmerie barracks. Private castle. Can only be seen from the outside. By the way, don't forget to enjoy the beautiful views outside from this high vantage point.
