Beauregard (French pronunciation: [boʁɡaʁ]) is a commune in the Ain department in eastern France.
Géography[edit]
Beauregard is located in the south-western part of the Ain department in the fertile Val de Saône some 35 km north of Lyon and 2 km east of Villefranche-sur-Saône.
History[edit]
Beauregard takes its name from the castle built in 1290 by Gui de Chabeu on a hill overlooking the Saône and the hills of Beaujolais. The castle fell into ruin in about 1735. Restoration began in the 19th century and continues today.
A fire destroyed much of the village, and few old dwellings remain.
On 31 December 1954, Fareins-les-Beauregard was taken from Fareins and attached to Beauregard.
