Exhibition at the entrance of the village about the local history. Free entrance.

The village stands between Tournon and Lamastre overlooking one of the Doux's twists and turns. The former capital of the Haut-Vivarais was made a bailiwick by the King of France, Philippe-le-Bel until 1565, hence the name Boucieu-le-Roi. In 1291, King Philip "le Bel" made Boucieu the seat of a bailiwick court, it's a royal court of justice extending over the whole of the Haut Vivarais and made it a royal town that was directly under his authority (hence the name Boucieu-le-Roi). Free land until its replacement by Annonay in 1565, Boucieu-le-Roi had the King and various "coseigneurs" as its lord. The village was deeply marked by Pierre Vigne (1670-1740), missionary priest of Vivarais, whose tomb is in the church. Arriving in 1712 in Boucieu where he decided to stop after seeing topographical similarities with Jerusalem, he founded the Order of the "Saint Sacrement" there in 1715. His missionary work is perpetuated throughout the world thanks to the Sisters of the "Saint Sacrement" , a congregation born in Boucieu-le-Roi. Pierre Vigne was beatified on 3 October 2004 by Pope John Paul II. Saint John’s Church The Evangelist: Consecrated in 1492 it was partly destroyed during the Wars of Religion (16th century) and then restored in the 17th century. Of the early church only the central part of the facade remains. In this church, a place of pilgrimage, the “Blessed Pierre Vigne” rests. The Bailiff’s House: Listed in the Supplementary Inventory of Historic Monuments since 1927, this beautiful house with its corbelled turret was the seat of the Royal Court of Justice. Boucieu is also the place where the velorail starts for an original discover of the gorge of the Doux. In 1291, King Philippe le Bel made Boucieu the seat of a bailliage court, i.e. a royal court of justice covering the entire Haut Vivarais region, and made it a royal town reporting directly to him (hence the name Boucieu-le-Roi). A freehold land until it was replaced by Annonay in 1565, Boucieu-le-Roi's lords were the King and various co-lords. The village was deeply influenced by Pierre Vigne (1670-1740), a missionary priest from the Vivarais region, whose tomb is in the church. Arriving in Boucieu in 1712, where he decided to stop after seeing topographical similarities with Jerusalem, he founded the Order of the Blessed Sacrament in 1715. His missionary work continues around the world thanks to the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, a congregation born in Boucieu-le-Roi. Pierre Vigne was beatified on October 3, 2004 by Pope John Paul II. Saint-Jean L'évangéliste church: consecrated in 1492, it was partly destroyed during the Wars of Religion (16th century), then restored in the 17th century. All that remains of the original church is the central part of the façade. Blessed Pierre Vigne is buried in the church, which is a place of pilgrimage. La maison du Bailli: Listed as an Inventaire supplémentaire des Monuments historiques since 1927, this beautiful house with its corbelled turret was the seat of the royal court of justice.

The building flanked by a watch tower bears testament to the height of Boucieu in the 15th and 16th centuries after Philippe le Bel founded a royal court of justice for the Upper Vivarais area (bailiwick). Closed to the general public. The Maison du Bailli is listed as a Historic Monument. The Bailiwick Court judges all cases of high justice (crimes), royal cases (disputes between lords or between the lord and the king), and judges on appeal.

This church of St. John the Evangelist was consecrated in 1492 (when the village was in its heyday). The 17th century proved particularly disastrous: the church was destroyed, and even converted to a Protestant church for 30 years. Boucieu never regained the importance it had enjoyed in the 1400s. The church was rebuilt during the 1700s with donations from local lords, memorials to whom can be seen inside the church (tombstone and sculpted coats-of-arms). During the 1800s, the priest Pierre Vigne breathed new spiritual life into the place.

The stations of the cross of Boucieu is comped by 35 stations (calles chapels), decorated of sculptures. Starting from the church , it was built 200 years ago. Each year, for the good-friday, many people follow this path. The large Way of the Cross consisted of 39 chapel stations. Unfortunately, it was destroyed during the French Revolution and rebuilt a few years later, but the locations of 4 stations have not been found. Today, it comprises 35 stations, a 5 km route through the village and surrounding countryside.

Pierre Vigne (1670-1740) was a missionary priest who settled in Boucieu le Roi in 1712 where he saw a topographical similarity with Jerusalem. He built a way of the cross with 39 crucifixes in the village and surrounding countryside. in 1715n he founded the Congregation of sisters of Saint Sacrement. The sisters will welcome you for a tour of the museum which reunites objects bearing witness to the missionary's work and faith all year around by appointment.

Boucieu le Roi's heyday was in the late 15th century when Pont du Roi bridge was built over the Doux (listed as a Monument Historique). The bridge was built upstream from another, so-called "Roman" bridge. The bridge was built to provide a link with the northern Vivarais region. The bridge has three arches and two abutments.

Bozas stretches from the banks of the River Daronne an altitude of 288m up to Madame Wood at an altitude of more than 800m, from where you can get a panoramic view of the Mont Blanc in fine weather.
