A central town, on a human scale
Beauvais (population 56,000) draws its identity from four pillars: its Saint-Pierre Cathedral — an unfinished gothic masterpiece whose vault rises to a record-breaking 48 metres (it collapsed twice, in 1284 and 1573, before the builders abandoned the transept project); its function as administrative capital (prefecture, sub-prefecture, courthouse, regional gendarmerie); its university hub (UPJV Beauvais campus, IUT, UniLaSalle engineering school); and its low-cost airport 5 km north. The town itself is compact and walkable — the taxi remains essential for airport transfers, station runs, hospital trips and late-night returns.
Saint-Pierre Cathedral
Place Jeanne-Hachette. Highest gothic vault in the world (48 m), 19th-century astronomical clock, Beauvais tapestries. Free entry. Drop-off at place Jeanne-Hachette avoids parking in the narrow town centre.

Beauvais SNCF station
