Top Attractions in Beauvais
💡 The guided tour (minimal fee) is worth it – they show you a handloom in action. Otherwise, the free self-guided route is fine. Check for weekday closures.
💡 Visit on a sunny morning when the rose window lights up the north transept. The climb up to the roof terrace is paid but worth it for the view.
💡 Go just after lunch when the sun hits the south transept rose window. The queue for the clock show (small fee) forms 20 mins early.
💡 The temporary exhibitions cost, but the permanent rooms are free. Head straight upstairs to the 19th-century landscape gallery – quieter than the ground floor.
💡 Best light for photos is late afternoon. The alley is off the main tourist trail – look for the red brick wall at the end of Rue des Jacobins.
💡 Free entry on the first Sunday of each month. The permanent collection is always free; temporary exhibitions may cost €5–8.
💡 Start from the cathedral and head east. Look for the giant mural of a weaver on Rue des Jacobins – it's faded but authentic. Best light at 17:00.
💡 Pack your own picnic – there’s no café on site. The best shade is by the lake on the west side.
