Cities

• 50.2364.2411 Beaumont  – City-stage, Beaumont is famous for its Salamander Tower which was burned by the French in 1655 and the English in 1691, its macaroons, but also for its legend of the Three Auvergnats. The three thieves would have disrespected Charles V. An hour after their arrival in town, the emperor is said to have hanged them. Hence the maxim, "Beaumont, ville de malheur." Arrived at noon, hanged at one o'clock ”. (last update Feb. 2018)
