Riorges has a colorful history dating back two thousand years. History reveals that Roman soldiers garrisoned in neighboring Roanne came to Riorges for fun and festivities. The name Beaulieu can be traced back to the 12th century when a priory for the Sisters of Beaulieu was added to an existing abbey. At the turn of the 19th century, Riorges emerged as a transportation hub when it became the terminus for a new railway line.
