geography
Abergement-lès-Thésy is located at 680 m , southeast of Salins-les-Bains and about 19 km north of the city of Champagnole (as the crow flies). The farming village extends in the Jura , on the first Jura plateau, on a slope slightly sloping to the southeast, east of the erosion valley of the Furieuse .
The area of the 4.63 km² large municipality covers a section of the French Jura. The entire area is taken up by the plateau of the Jura plateau, which is 680 m on average and consists mainly of arable and meadow land. The plateau has no above-ground watercourses because the rainwater seeps into the karstified subsoil. At 732 m , the highest point of Abergement-lès-Thésy is reached on a knoll north of the village. The plateau descends slightly to the southeast, with the municipal area extending to the area of La Chaux .
Neighboring communities of Abergement-lès-Thésy are Cernans and Dournon in the north, Lemuy in the east and Thésy and Salins-les-Bains in the west.

The Abergement, first mentioned in the 12th century, was granted certain freedoms in 1266. In the Middle Ages it belonged to the rule of Aresches . Together with Franche-Comté , the village came to France with the Peace of Nijmegen in 1678.
