Beaumont (French pronunciation: [bomɔ̃] ⓘ; Walloon: Biômont) is a city and municipality of Wallonia located in the Belgian province of Hainaut, on the border with France.
The municipality consists of the following districts: Barbençon, Beaumont, Leugnies, Leval-Chaudeville, Renlies, Solre-Saint-Géry, Strée, and Thirimont.
The Tour Salamandre, an 11th-century donjon, is the only remaining part of the Château de Beaumont, seat of the Croÿ family.
The old castle, in which Napoleon spent a night before going to Waterloo in 1815, has been separated in two parts; one houses the town hall and the other contains a catholic secondary school, Paridaens.
