In Baume-Les-Messieurs, time seems to stand still, as this village has managed to preserve its charm so well. It's no coincidence that it has been awarded two labels, "Plus Beaux Villages de France" (Most Beautiful Villages in France) and "Cités de Caractère de Bourgogne-Franche-Comté" (Towns of Character in Burgundy-Franche-Comté).

Founded in the 6th century and expanded by Bernon at the end of the 9th century, the building became a famous abbey, from which the monks who founded Cluny originated. The Abbey of Baume les Messieurs' prosperity began in the 11th century. In the 12th century, it assumed the title of "Imperial Abbey." In 1147, Baume was placed under the authority of Cluny. From this point on, its decline began. At the end of the 18th century, the last monks were converted into secular canons. During the French Revolution, the monks left the abbey, and part of the abbey was privatized. This Benedictine abbey today boasts an impressive architectural ensemble, some of which are typical of early Romanesque architecture in the Jura. The abbey church of Saint-Pierre dates back to the 11th century and has been a listed historic monument since 1849.
