Baume-les-Messieurs

Baume-les-Messieurs (French pronunciation: [bom le mesjø]) is a commune in the Jura department in the region of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté in eastern France.

The village lies within the most extensive of the steephead valleys of the Jura escarpment, the Reculée de Baume.

A short tributary of the Seille de Baume, the Dard, merges with the Seille at Baume; at the source of the Dard, also within the Reculée, there is a notable series of caves.

The village is dominated by the former Baume Abbey, and in consequence has a significant tourist trade, though this mainly involves day visitors.

Conducted tours both of the abbey and of the Dard caves are offered.
