==History== thumb|left|Hotel de Ville thumb|left|The Birs river near Tavannes thumb|left|Aerial view from 900 m by Walter Mittelholzer (1930) The area around Tavannes was traversed by the early inhabitants of the Helvetic plain because of the natural tunnel through the Jura between the valley of the Suze and the valley of the Birse. Under the Emperor Marcus Aurelius, the Romans improved this road between 161 and 169 AD. The Roman administrator left an inscription in the cliff at Pierre-Pertuis to this effect.
