How to spend a weekend in Beauvais

One of the best things about Beauvais is just how walkable it is. The centre is truly compact, so there's no need to worry about transport arrangements once you get off the bus from Paris to Beauvais. Just wear comfortable shoes and get ready to explore.

Start your weekend in Beauvais with a visit to the Cathédrale Saint-Pierre. This spectacular Gothic cathedral is the city's main attraction. Construction started in 1225, when ambitious builders planned to make the tallest cathedral in the world. They didn't succeed, but the cathedral does boast the world's highest Gothic cathedral choir. Take your time to admire the stained glass windows and the incredibly intricate 19th century mechanical clock.

After lunch, head to the Musée de l'Oise, a museum set in a glorious medieval bishop's palace. Inside, you can admire amazing paintings, Art Nouveau furniture, and examples of local ceramics. Admission is free.

Spend your evening enjoying the local cuisine, then begin Sunday with a stroll through the historic centre, passing charming statues and old churches. For a taste of nature, visit Parc Marcel Dassault, the ideal spot for a stroll. It boasts a rose garden, an orchard, a Japanese garden, and a small farm with animals for the kids to coo over. After a leisurely lunch, it's time to get back on the bus and return to Paris, with your batteries fully recharged.

Unmissable events in Beauvais

Beauvais is delightful at any time of year, but there are some events that make it particularly worth visiting. Music lovers shouldn't miss the blues festival that takes place each March. During this event, the city streets hum with the evocative sound of blues music, while cinephiles will have a whale of a time at the annual Beauvais Film Festival. This is held each October.

You'll also find local markets in Beauvais every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Get there early on a market day to stock up on local produce from the surrounding area.

What to eat and drink in Beauvais

Beauvais is the perfect spot to indulge in traditional Picardy cuisine. That means hearty, rustic dishes that will satisfy even the hungriest appetite. Loosen your belt, because Picardy food tends to focus on cream, cheese, and other rich dairy products. Top of the list of dishes to try is ficelle picarde, a savoury crêpe filled with cream, mushrooms, and ham, smothered with grated cheese, then baked in the oven. It's definitely not one for dieters, but it's utterly delicious!

Flamiche aux poireaux, or leek tart, is another local speciality. Sometimes it's made with maroilles cheese, which is powerful, pungent stuff that's a must for cheese lovers. For something meaty, be sure to try the salt meadow lamb, which has a slightly sweet flavour thanks to the unique grazing local conditions. Wash it all down with a glass of local cider.

Of course, you'll also find a wealth of French pastries and other sweet treats at bakeries all around the city centre. The boulangeries and patisseries of Beauvais are more affordable than Paris. If you're tired of big city prices, you'll find lots of charming shops where you can pick up sweet treats for less.
