It was through the Saint-Hilaire gate that, in 1477, the French soldiers of Louis XI invaded the town. Using the Trojan Horse ruse, Marshal de Craon brought carts filled with barrels and wheat from the villages of Mutigney and Chassey. The inhabitants of Pesmes allowed the carts to enter, and as soon as they passed through the gate, the soldiers appeared.

For over 300 years, the blast furnaces, renowned throughout France, produced cannonballs initially for the King's army and later for the armies of the Republic. From the 19th century onward, this industry shifted to manufacturing small agricultural and winemaking tools. Guided tours are available by reservation through Culture et Animations Pesmoises.

With its imperial bell tower typical of the Franche-Comté region, the Church invites you to travel back in time through its construction where the 13th, 14th and 16th centuries intertwine and offers you a journey through varied artistic influences: Burgundian, Comtois and Champenoise.

This dam has a fixed part and a mobile part each measuring about fifty meters long. This structure was completely overhauled in 2014 after six years of work. Thus, the original dam dating from the 1840s was equipped with a fish pass and a footbridge on which pedestrians and cyclists can circulate to cross the watercourse.

The Saint-Hilaire church originally dates from the 12th century and was remodeled in the late Gothic style in the early 17th century. It is richly decorated: an alabaster altar in the side chapel of d'Andelot (15th century) decorated with Renaissance-style marble, a marble statue of Mary (15th century) by Jean de La Huerta, a triptych (16th century) by Jacques Prévost, furniture, paneling and statues from the 16th to 18th centuries, a pulpit (16th century) by Claude Le Rupt and numerous tombstones. The former priory chapel has also been preserved. A stone cross from the 14th century stands in the cemetery; other stone wayside crosses from this period can be found in the town.

The 16th century Porte Saint-Hilaire is one of only two surviving gates out of the six known in Pesmes. The Saint-Hilaire gate, not benefiting from the natural protection of a rocky escarpment, was undoubtedly the most exposed to external attacks.

The terrace is located at the western end of the main building of the chateau. It occupies a strategic location in the landscape, on the heights overlooking the Ognon. The old bridge that took the road from Dole to Gray was destroyed by the German occupiers during the Second World War, then rebuilt by the 215th Engineer Regiment. On the other bank, further south, the old church of Tombe was the seat of the parish until the construction of an intramural church in the 12th century. It then served as a chapel for a leper before being transformed into a hermitage in the 16th century.

The iron works are a monument of the industrial age. They are owned by the Municipality of Pesmes and house a museum. For the "Musée des Forges" there are only guided tours for groups of at least 4 people. Please inquire here for more details: Phone 06 79 85 59 87 email: CAP.Pesmes@free.fr The Château des Forges, which is directly opposite the ironworks, dates from the late 17th century and was the residence of the ironworks owner. It is privately owned and cannot be visited. Please make sure to do the small island hike. The footbridge, the barrage of the Ognon and the island that the Ognon forms here are well worth seeing.
