A Brief History
Beauregard et Bassac was founded in 1286 by Edward I of England and was instantly baptised « Bastida Belli Grandi » due to its beautiful location. It was never adequately peopled and in 1365 counted only a hundred or so inhabitants.

The Bastide
In the town itself an old market hall is supported by cylindrical stone pillars and covered by a magnificent timber roof frame, several beams of which are at least 15m long

Philip IV the Fair built here a square castle with a tower in each corner but it has since been destroyed and a more recent building constructed on the site of its ruins.
