Beaujeu

On the Beaujolais wine route, just 50 minutes north of Lyon, Beaujeu, the historic capital of the Beaujolais, welcomes you. Giving its name to the country and to the Beaujolais appellation, this small Beaujolais town is an essential historical stopover. You can visit the beautiful Romanesque church of St-Nicolas, created in the Middle Ages by the Sires of Beaujeu, but also the Renaissance house with half-timbering and galleries, the Hôtel de la Tour and finally the Hospices de Beaujeu, a major monument of the town. Go to the village square to stock up on Beaujolais souvenir gifts and local products by stopping at the Maison du Terroir Beaujolais. Don't hesitate to push open the door of the museographic space of the Maison du terroir: you will learn about Beaujolais traditions, the richness of the Beaujolais lands, the flavours and emblematic dishes of the territory and the characters who have marked its history. It is impossible to evoke Beaujeu without imagining oneself singing the countdown "3, 2, 1: the Beaujolais Nouveau has arrived! It's midnight on the dot, it's the 3rd Thursday in November, the Sarmentelles are in full swing and Beaujeu is vibrating with a euphoria that is unique in the world for one night!
