Béhuard Village

Highlight • Settlement

The village is built entirely in a flood zone and between December and May it is not uncommon for streets to be flooded. Here people have learned to live in the rhythm of the Loire.
A saying: In Béhuard, "we don't tame the Loire, we live with it"!

The village of Béhuard

Highlight • Settlement

The only town located on an island in the Loire, this (very) small city of character is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Famous for its flooding by the river, its old streets and its Notre Dame de Béhuard chapel carved into the rock. Not tested the guinguette but the view of the Loire and its sandbanks is exquisite.
PS: Visited in the morning on weekdays, so very relaxing atmosphere, but probably a lot of visitors on weekends.
There are toilets with a water tap at the level of the car park at the entrance to the village. But if you have a few minutes, the café on the church square is very nice.

History of the Notre-Dame de Béhuard Chapel:
Built on a rock, one side of which still serves as a wall.
The Béhuard chapel includes a nave covered with a platform that characterizes the art of the 15th century, the Mauges granite altar is in harmony with the rock.
The nave, choir and side chapel are covered with a fallen hull-shaped frame. Two external stairs provide access to the church.
Worth seeing are the stained glass windows, the revered statue, the peace bell, the galley irons, the polychrome statues of the Virgin Mary and Saint Michael.


The chapel is open daily from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The path runs along the Loire and takes us, by a small shaded path, to the viewpoint on the Pierre Bécherelle and lets us see the Confluence of the Maine and the Loire. Going back up along the Guillemette, we can admire the panorama on the hillsides of the Serrant flow

Dam on the Loire

Highlight • Structure

At the Barrage sur la Loire à Béhuard, you can admire the view of the river and its wildlife, as well as the charming village of Béhuard, which has a 15th century church dedicated to Notre-Dame de Béhuard. The dam itself is a modest construction made of rocks.
