Beaumontel (French pronunciation: [bomɔ̃tɛl]) is a commune in the Eure department in the Normandy region in northern France.
The commune lies on the Risle river, located between the plaine du Neubourg and the forest of Beaumont-le-Roger. The Paris-Cherbourg railway line passes through the commune.
The commune along with another 69 communes shares part of a 4,747 hectare, Natura 2000 conservation area, called Risle, Guiel, Charentonne.[3]
The village was formerly known as Belmontel. The village was originally part of Beaumont-le-Roger and had a common origin in lands belonging to the dukes of Normandy which were given to Judith of Brittany and later, to the monks of Bernay.
From the early 15th century until the French Revolution, the area belonged to the Val family.
