Beurizot offers a clear focus when choosing a destination: church art and architectural history sit alongside traces of the Canal de Bourgogne. The Église paroissiale Saint-Baudry, a lock keeper’s house by the canal, and a historic “port” bring together different aspects of local history. There is also a fortified building in ruins, a house classified as a manor house, and a farm that sells beef and veal. This combination makes Beurizot an interesting choice if you want to plan a stay around specific cultural, architectural, or canal-related themes.

Church and protected art

The Église paroissiale Saint-Baudry contains 13 protected objects. The statue of Saint Peter in the church dates from the 16th century and is classified as a protected object. The two details complement each other: the number describes the church’s protected collection, while the date places one individual object in a historical period. This brings an overview of the protected furnishings together with a specifically named work.

Canal history on the Canal de Bourgogne

The Maison de type Foucherot in Beurizot is a lock keeper’s house on section 13 of the Yonne side of the Canal de Bourgogne. The name links a specific type of house to a precisely identified section of the canal. Another connection is the “port” with which Beurizot was equipped on the canal at the end of the 19th century, to prevent goods from accumulating on the towpath embankment and along the route beside the waterway. These two connections answer different questions about the canal’s history: the lock keeper’s house locates a building on a particular section; the port explains how the accumulation of goods was to be avoided. This places built infrastructure and the movement of goods alongside one another as distinct aspects of local history.

Historic buildings

The Château de Saint-Beury in Beurizot is a fortified building in ruins. The Maison forte de Verchisy in Beurizot is a manor house. The descriptions refer to different categories of building: at Saint-Beury, fortification and ruinous condition are part of its classification, while Verchisy is classified as a manor house. These distinctions are useful if you want to include historic architectural styles in your choice of destination. The two buildings add distinct architectural history themes to the church- and canal-related attractions.

Cycling route and local food

On the Tour de Bourgogne cycling route, there is an information sign in Beurizot on the bridge at the intersection of the Canal de Bourgogne and the D970. The route, canal, and road are thus linked at a clearly identified point that helps cyclists find their way.

La Ferme de Lignières in Beurizot sells beef and veal through its farm shop, at markets, and online. If you want to include local food in your travel plans, you can choose between these sales channels. If you plan to use a particular one, check the available sales channels again before your trip.
