Mon banc dominical / my Sunday bench - Beaulieu-lès-Loches.

In the quiet heart of Beaulieu-lès-Loches , this bench has a view of the soaring tower of the Abbaye de la Trinité de Beaulieu-lès-Loches. Set among neatly trimmed trees, it invites a moment of stillness, where the geometry of the garden meets the centuries-old stonework beyond. The scene feels almost composed, the straight path, the symmetrical trees, and that single bench placed just so, waiting.

The abbey dates back to the 11th century and was once part of a much larger monastic complex . Today, fragments of its past remain, including the striking tower and sections of ruined walls, giving this peaceful square a quiet sense of history layered over everyday life.

“On Sundays, the Loire speaks softly — and you have time to listen.”

Part of the “My Sunday Bench” Series

Each Sunday, we share a quiet bench somewhere in the Loire — a small reminder that peace is often found where you simply stop to notice it.
