Beauclair is the capital city of Toussaint surrounding the Palace of Beauclair. It was probably built when Peter Faramond reconstructed the palace and Duchess Adela Marta became the first lady of it.
Traders, vineyard operators and other travelers say the city is like a charmed place, pushing people to love and drink and discouraging to leave the capital.
Notable people[]
Blood and Wine expansion[]
In the final expansion for The Witcher 3, Beauclair is presented as a sizable city on the shores of a nearby lake called Seidhe Llygad. The city is very vibrant, colorful, and, because of its centralized position, can be clearly seen from almost every place in the duchy. Although the city is not as large as Novigrad, it's divided into three districts, only one being walled. The Ducal Palace, renowned for its grandiose majesty, stands at the western edge of the city and is framed by the imposing Mount Gorgon. The city is protected by Knights-Errant and Toussaint Guard.
