The small town of Comtoise character, the commune of Bermont takes place on the Territory of Belfort, in the Burgundy-Franche-Comté region. It is located on a limestone spur of 350 meters, respectively seven and fifteen kilometers from Belfort and Montbéliard.

Village from the XIIth century, Bermont takes its name from the Latin Bellemonte meaning Beau Mont. The commune owes its economic development to the construction of the canal of the Haute Saône dedicated to the service of the collieries of Ronchamp. Even today, some pleasure boats take this river road, while tourists enjoy the shores laid out for hiking or cycling.

Benefiting from a real tourist attraction because of its proximity to the most beautiful cities of the region and its natural heritage, Bermont attracts visitors of passage wanting to imbibe the local culture.

Things to see and do

The St. Lawrence Church, which is part of the inventory of historic monuments, was originally a 12th-century chapel that still forms the bulk of the choir of the building. Of Romanesque style mostly, it was partly destroyed during the Thirty Years War and rebuilt under the Second Empire. A pointed bell tower was added in the second half of the 19th century and there are beautiful stained glass windows from the early 19th century.

A little away from the town, the Notre-Dame-du-Chêne chapel stands proudly. Built in the middle of the 19th century, it was for a long time a high place of pilgrimage. Renovated at the end of the 19th century, with an impressive reinforced concrete altar, it was originally a miracle. A statue of the Virgin and Child in linden wood was found in an oak during the French Revolution, becoming a true object of veneration. Moving in the church of St. Lawrence, the sculpture would have found its place of origin alone the next day, suggesting a divine intervention. This is the reason why the inhabitants of the commune decided to build the chapel on the site of the statue.

Property of the army and forbidden access, Fort Eblé du Bois d'Oye can be admired remotely. Set at an altitude of 420 meters, the building dates from the end of the 19th century.

As you walk through Bermont, you can discover the three Ignudi sculptures by artist-designer Agnes Descamps. Do not miss the fountain of La Suze, former place of refuge of the wife of Gaspard de Champagne, a seigneur of Belfort of the seventeenth century.

The canal bridge offers the possibility of making beautiful walks with family or friends, on foot or by bicycle.
