Geography

Baigneux-les-Juifs is located some 25 km east by south-east of Montbard and 10 km south-west of Aignay-le-Duc. Access to the commune is by the D 971 road from Saint-Marc-sur-Seine in the north which passes through the commune east of the village and continues south to Chanceaux. The D 21 branches off the D 971 in the commune and goes north-east, passing through the village, and continuing to Jours-lès-Baigneux. The D 954 goes west from the village to Étormay. The D 114A branches off the D 971 at the D 21 intersection and goes east to Orret. The commune is entirely farmland.

History

In the Middle Ages the village was called Bagnos, probably from the Latin Balneolum meaning "small bath". This name was completed after a Jewish community was allowed to settle there in the 13th century. This community was permanently driven out by the Dukes of Burgundy in the 15th century.

From 1895 to 1933 the commune had a narrow gauge railway operated by the Chemins de fer départementaux de la Côte-d'Or (Departmental Railway of Côte-d'Or) (CDCO) which connected the village to Châtillon-sur-Seine.
