Back from the Italian wars, Francis the 1st declares the twin cities of Pont de Beauvoisin (Isère and Savoie) "City of furnitures craft" . Nowadays, 15 crafstmen still welcome you in their shops (see city map). "History - At the heart of this story is a bridge. A simple bridge of wood, then of stone, thrown on the cut breach, between Dauphinoise land and County of Savoy, by the Guiers to stubborn waters. Built, carried away, rebuilt, for how many centuries has it twinned the opposite banks of the torrent? Probably for a long time, before this year of grace 1115, when the present name of Pont-de-Beauvoisin appeared for the first time. Land of borders open to the passage of conquering armies as well as to the reflux of defeated fighters, Pont-de-Beauvoisin probably derives its name from its strategic position between France and Italy, «Pons Belli Vicinus» which means ""Neighbouring Bridge of War". Unless it is the «Beau Voisin» or «Bon Voisin» that gave each other the inhabitants of the two banks, grouped in the 12th century around the same fortress and a common priory, before the endless quarrel between Dauphins and Counts of Savoy came to tear apart the town on each side of the famous bridge. 1515, the bridge destroyed by a flood is rebuilt in stone, on the order of François 1er, to allow his regiments stationed at the Pont-de-Beauvoisin to join him in battle on the battlefields of Italy. The apogee of the Renaissance in Pont-de-Beauvoisin is reached thanks to the Italian architects and artists called by Francis I returning from the wars of Italy. His influence will be very strong in the city he named «Cité du Meuble». Oak, walnut, marble, wrought iron and enamel are the most commonly used materials. From the traditional to the contemporary, from the series to the tailor-made, even today, some fifteen workshops and stores can satisfy your needs."

The Church of the Carmes is a historical monument from the 15th century. Come and look up to the recently restored chancel, the amazing frescoes, the vertical gardens and the well-known St Felix source The Church of the Carmes has an interesting history, full of twists. In 1355, Savoyards -inhabitants of Savoie- had no more parish church. Then, Earl Amédée of Savoie's constituency begged him for building a new church because it was unthinkable for them to remain without a church. That's how the Carmes -name of a mendicant order from Provence - arrived and settled in Savoie in 1419. History gave the church a rough ride because of the French Revolution, that is the reason why the Carmes fleed Savoie in 1793. Finally, 393 years later, Savoyards got what they wanted and needed. Outside the church, turn your attention to the amazing Gothic gate, the bell tower and, most of all, to the St Felix source well-known for its water said to be able to heal eye diseases. Inside the church, it is a bit more unusual with a body composed of only one basin, the paintings on the chancel's ceiling (paintings that were classified in 1987), the ground covered with cobblestone and the 44 gravestones.
