Description
Did you know?
In the 17th and 18th centuries, Beaucaire was a major hub of trade thanks to the Foire de la Madeleine, during which the town became a free-trade zone.
Its Rhône port attracted merchants from across the kingdom and the Mediterranean. At that time, the town experienced incredible growth, and magnificent private mansions were built.
Your guide will invite you to admire remarkable façades and step through the doors of a few inner courtyards to share the stories of their owners and the history of the Foire de la Madeleine.
