Andelarre is a municipality in the French department of Haute-Saône in the region Bourgogne Franche-Comté .
geography
Andelarre is located at an altitude of 314 m above sea level, about five kilometers southwest of Vesoul (as the crow flies). The village extends in the central part of the department, in a depression in the hilly landscape that extends between the river valleys of the Saône in the north-west and the Ognon in the south.
The area of the municipal area of 4.57 km² includes a section in the hilly area east of the Saône basin. The central part of the area is occupied by the Andelarre depression, which is an average of 310 m. It has a width of about 1.5 kilometers and is oriented towards the southwest-northeast. Agricultural use predominates here, while the surrounding heights are predominantly forest-covered. In the east, the depression is flanked by the Bois de la Côte (up to 400 m). To the west, the municipal area extends on the ridge of the Bois de Noidans and the Côte d'Andelarre , on which the highest point of Andelarre is reached at 427 m. The hilly area consists of limestone layers from the middle Jurassic period . There are no surface rivers in the entire municipal area because the rainwater seeps into the karstified subsoil.
Andelarre's neighboring municipalities are Chariez and Noidans-lès-Vesoul in the north, Andelarrot in the east and south and Mont-le-Vernois in the west.
history
Andelarre was first mentioned in a document in 1225. In the Middle Ages, the village belonged to the Free County of Burgundy and in it to the area of the Bailliage d'Amont . The Bishop of Besançon and the Lords of Faucogney owned property and rights. Andelarre later formed its own rule, which in 1770 was made a marquisate. Together with Franche-Comté, the village finally came to France with the Peace of Nijmegen in 1678. A change of area came about in 1806, when the neighboring municipality Andelarrot merged with Andelarre. As early as 1823, Andelarrot regained its independence. Today Andelarre is a member of the 19 localities community association Communauté de communes de l'agglomération de Vesoul .
Attractions
The village church of Andelarre dates from the 17th century and has a walnut statue of the Madonna (15th century). Baron Jules d'Andelarre had the Château d'Andelarre slightly elevated north of the village built in the 19th century.

Since then, however, the trend has been falling again.
