Geography
A small farming village located 15 miles (24 km) southeast of Arras at the junction of the D956 and D10E roads. The A1 autoroute passes by just yards from the commune.
Beugnâtre is a rural commune in the Pas-de-Calais department of the Hauts-de-France region in northern France. It forms part of the Arras arrondissement and belongs to the intercommunality of the Communauté de communes du Sud-Artois. The commune is situated in an agricultural landscape characteristic of the Artois plateau, with predominantly open-field farming.[4] During the First World War, Beugnâtre was heavily damaged due to its proximity to the Western Front, and much of the village was reconstructed in the interwar period. Today, it remains a small residential and farming community with local governance typical of French rural communes.[5]
