Beaumont (Hainaut, Belgium)
Beaumont is a village in the municipality of Thuin, located in the southwest of Hainaut, near the French border. The town retains a rural atmosphere, with old streets, farms and a bocage landscape. Its position above the Sambre valley makes it a good starting point for discovering the region. People come for the tranquility, walks and the proximity of better-known heritage sites.
Heritage and history
The urban fabric of Beaumont preserves traces of its rural and village development. Old houses, some notable farms and the parish church form the historic core. The village is closely tied to the local history of Hainaut and the surrounding hamlets, whose agrarian organization reflects ancient practices still visible in the landscape.
Nature and landscapes
The surroundings offer a bocage shaped by the hills and valleys of the Sambre. Country paths and small roads provide viewpoints over meadows, copses and woodlands. The gentle relief attracts hikers and cyclists seeking easy outings, away from main roads.
Outdoor activities
One can practice hiking, mountain biking and countryside observation. Local routes connect Beaumont to other villages and to the Sambre valley for circular circuits. Rural tracks are suitable for families and half-day walks.
