Assistance Needed: French Baptismal Records

I am looking for a way to search baptismal records for the Burgundy province of France in the 1820s.  If there are also marriage records, that would save me another step.

Anne or Annette Perrault marries a Jean Schrapf, possibly from Antwerp, near 1850 +/- 5 years.

To start a search, "Burgundy" is really too vague a location.

1820 being post French Revolution, the relevant administrative divisions of France are départements, not provinces. Bourgogne (Burgundy) is covering four of those Côte-d'Or, Nièvre, Saône-et-Loire and Yonne.

In the 1820s, birth and marriage are recorded in civil registries, available online for each départment via their Archives Départementales.

I have started a search into the records.  Thank you for the access point information.  Unfortunately, the record images are not fully indexed, forcing a manual, old fashioned, record-by-record search.  This is going to take me some time, but I do really appreciate having somewhere to go and real records.
