Beaubery brings together a hilly landscape and historic sites, each offering its own way to discover the town. Mont Botey and the Balades Vertes trails invite exploration on foot; the Corne d’Artus, the Mémorial de la Résistance and Corcheval each provide a different historical perspective. For your travel planning, this means choosing between a focus on scenery and hiking, and a stay shaped more by architectural history and remembrance.
Hills and Hiking Routes
Mont Botey is one of the many hills in the commune of Beaubery and reaches an elevation of 561 metres. It can be explored on foot along the marked Balades Vertes trails. The elevation refers to the hill; the trails offer a specific way to discover it on foot.
Another named route is Le tour des collines, Route B3 in Beaubery. The 2025 tourism guide gives its length as 15 kilometres, with 384 metres of elevation gain. These figures describe different aspects: the number of kilometres indicates the route’s length, while the elevation gain indicates the ascent. Together, they help you gauge the scale of the route. It passes through a hilly landscape with wooded hills, several streams and ponds. These landscape features complement the measurements with a sense of the surroundings along the route. As later editions may change the route details, check the current route description before planning.
History, Remembrance and Architecture
The Corne d’Artus is a feudal ruin on an isolated hill near one end of Beaubery. Artus was a royal châtellenie. These are two distinct aspects to consider: the hill describes the ruin’s location in the landscape, while the châtellenie provides Artus’s historical context. This site therefore brings together a specific geographical setting and a historical connection.
The MĂ©morial de la RĂ©sistance was inaugurated by Marshal de Lattre de Tassigny on 8 June 1947 and bears the names of 96 victims. A commemorative ceremony is held there each year on the first Sunday in June. If you would like to plan your stay around the ceremony, check the current schedule before making plans.
The Château et chapelle de Corcheval in Beaubery is partially protected as a historic monument. The chapel has an à l’impériale roof. The protection applies only to part of the complex, while the roof feature specifically belongs to the chapel. Here, the focus is on architecture and protection status; at the memorial, it is on the inauguration date, the names and the annual commemoration. The term describes the curved silhouette of the chapel roof.
