Pont-de-Roide-Vermondans

Pont-de-Roide-Vermondans is a commune in the Doubs département in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region in eastern France.

Geography

The town is at the heart of the Pays de Lomont, from Montbéliard at the confluence of the rivers Doubs, Ranceuse, and Roide; it is therefore located at the crossroad of different valleys. On the east end of the town are high cliffs known as les Roches, leading to a plateau near the Franco-Swiss border.

In 1973, the adjacent village of Vermondans joined the commune of Pont-de-Roide. In 2013 the fusion was made official by the creation of a new commune: Pont-de-Roide - Vermondans.
