Article
Beaujeu (Arpitan: Biôjor) is a commune of the Rhône department in eastern France. It lies southwest of Mâcon and northwest of Lyon, on the river Ardière.
Beaujeu gives its name to the famous wine region Beaujolais and the former province Beaujolais (Biôjolês), of which it is the historical capital. However it was overtaken in the 14th century by Villefranche-sur-Saône, which remains the main commercial centre of the region.
