Beaucourt

Tucked into the Belfort Gap between the Vosges and Jura mountains, Beaucourt is a town whose character is shaped by the rolling terrain of eastern Franche-Comté. It grew around the Japy family’s industrial works, which turned this once-rural settlement into an important French manufacturing town during the 19th century. The Japy name is associated with clocks, hardware and other mass-produced goods, while workers’ housing and former factory buildings still recall that industrial era. Beaucourt stands in the Territoire de Belfort, close to the Swiss frontier, within a natural corridor between France and central Europe.
