From the 9th century, Jambles belonged to Cluny Abbey. A writing by Saint-Vincent de Chalon from 1263 mentions the presence of a hospital which receives the sick, the homeless and travelers at a place called the Maison-Dieu in Jambles.
The village is located in the canton of Givry and is attached to the urban community of Grand Chalon.

In its center there is a pretty fountain near a cross.
