This former monastery church, the ruins of which still bear impressive witness to the former size and splendor of the abbey, was not dedicated to one of the many people we venerate as saints, but rather the ONE God in THREE persons - God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ) and God's Holy Spirit - was chosen as its patron saint. Father Reinhard Körner writes about the mystery of the Holy Trinity: "Among the great prayer-givers in the history of Christianity... I found prayer texts in which each of the divine three was explicitly addressed - in the same prayer. When I tried to recite the texts, I could sense that these people had not only had God the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit in mind individually - they were addressing a divine community. And it seemed to me that they could only do this in their written prayers because they did it otherwise, quietly in their hearts."

This former monastery church, the ruins of which still bear impressive witness to the former size and splendor of the abbey, was not dedicated to one of the many people who died as martyrs (witnesses of faith) for their Christian beliefs, or who we venerate as blessed or saints because of their exemplary way of life. Rather, this parish has chosen God himself - in the "Holy Trinity" - as its patron saint. According to Christian teaching, we believe in ONE God who exists in THREE persons - God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ) and the Holy Spirit. The following description can be found on the EKD (Evangelical Church of Germany) website: "The word tries to express the seemingly impossible, namely that God is three and one at the same time. To understand this, it helps to consider how people have experienced God throughout history: as a creator who loves his world and people like a father loves his children. As a God who became human in Jesus Christ, his Son, and shared human life. And finally, as a God who is still present and alive among people in the Holy Spirit."

Le Fidelaire … the origin of the toponym is clearer than it seems when we know that the Latin fagus (the beech) gave fayou fi: the Fidelaire is therefore the Fi of the Aire, that is to say the beech near which is the area where the peasants thresh the wheat. In the twelfth. There was one of the five chapels in the forest of Goms, dedicated to Saint Eloi. All were given in 1123 to the abbey of Conches which henceforth had the patronage.

An ancient fortified residence, the Hom Hom is a Nordic word meaning “island in a swamp”. This is what we discover at the bend of a path on leaving Beaumont. The current manor is a beautiful architectural ensemble which replaced a very old residence built in the 11th century, at the same time as the feudal castle. Surrounded by a triple row of moats, two magnificent late 16th-early 17th century pavilions, in brick and white stone, covered with flat tiles, are reflected in the water. Long half-timbered buildings house the stables. Access to a central courtyard is via a vast porch. The property can only be seen from a path that leads to the Fontaine à Roger fish farm. Successive owners of the Hom de Beaumont le Roger In 1420, the Hom belonged to Isabelle de Pommereuil who resisted the English invasion. As a result, she was dispossessed of her property. After many successive owners, the manor was offered to Dupont de l'Eure. Since 1825 it has remained in the same family. Long the seat of stag hunts, it currently belongs to the descendants of the Duchess of Magenta.
