The village of Beaufort offers all the characteristics of a mountain village with its stone houses with painted facades, gathered around the church St Maxime and along the Doron. The current town hall is located in the castle of Randens, dating from the fifteenth century and restored in the nineteenth century, residence of the lords responsible for the administration of the dukes of Savoy.
About the Château de Randens:
It dates from the 15th century. During his campaign against the Duke of Savoy, Henry IV stayed there on October 10, 1600, "in great company of princes and other gendarmerie". Wanting to cross the Cormet d'Arêches, he was blocked by the snow and left for Saint Pierre d'Albigny. They requisitioned horses, fodder and food for the troops.
