Beauvais tourist information
Beauvais dates back a coupld of thousand years. The town clusters around its gothic cathedral. (Gothic chancel, the highest in the world, measuring a height of 46.8m under the vault).
Beauvais has been linked to tapestry work for more than 3 centuries. Visit the workshops, where weavers practised their special technique, which was the glory of the town in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Also, visit the regional museum of the Oise which is housed in the former Bishop's palace, with its rare collection of furniture, its collections of ceramics, and paintings from the French and Italian schools of the 17th and 18th century. A visit to Beauvais is an opportunity to travel through the history of art.
