BEAUMONT DE LOMAGNE
Beaumont-de-Lomagne is a bastide and represents one of the most perfect examples of a new 13th century town.
The hall and the church are its main medieval monuments. Supported by 38 columns, the structural hall still hosts the market and its morphology remains that of the Middle Ages.
The fortified church is a masterpiece of southern Gothic whose elegant bell tower was undertaken on the model of the Jacobins of Toulouse.
Beaumont-de-Lomagne is also the hometown of the famous mathematician Pierre Fermat.
In Beaumont-de-Lomagne, science and mathematics are learned while having fun: manipulations, workshops, puzzles… Lovers of scientific and cultural tourism, the Maison Natale of Pierre Fermat welcomes you.
