The old-world little town of Beaugency (pop. 7,106) lies on the right bank of the Loire. The church of Notre-Dame (12th C) originally belonged to an abbey. The triangular Tour St-Firmin is all that remains of a church built in the 16th C. A drama festival is held here in July.
Northwest of the Château Dunois is the old part of the town, with a number of handsome buildings - the Maison des Templiers, the 17th C Hôtel de Ville (Town Hall) and the Tour de l'Horloge (Clock-Tower), once part of the town's circuit of walls.
