The history of Baume-les-Dames

Baume-les-Dames owes its name to the abbey of noblewomen that marked its history, and around which the town grew in the Doubs valley.

It today has around 5 200 inhabitants and keeps an old centre of character, between cliffs, the bend of the Doubs and hillsides, halfway between the urban areas of Besançon and Montbéliard.
