Economy
The village is served by regular bus services to Namur and Dinant.
At the Château white and sparkling wines, a little reminiscent of Riesling, are produced using varieties of Johanniter, Muscaris and Pinotin grapes, grown locally, having been adapted to survive a climate that is only just warm enough to support viticulture.
Television celebrity
During the 1980s Bioul acquired a level of possibly unwelcome national celebrity thanks to the Tatayet Show broadcast on national television. The television humourist Jacques Jossart delighted in using an exaggerated pronunciation, referring to the village as "Bi-Youlll", and this caricatured pronunciation was later taken up by a younger generation of comedians such as François Pirette.
