Pont-de-Roide-Vermondans (French pronunciation: [pɔ̃ də ʁwad vɛʁmɔ̃dɑ̃]; before 2014: Pont-de-Roide)[3] is a commune in the Doubs département in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region in eastern France.
The town is at the heart of the Pays de Lomont, 17 km (11 mi) 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.
