Andelarrot is a municipality in the French department of Haute-Saône in the region Bourgogne Franche-Comté .
geography
Andelarrot is located at an altitude of 322 m above sea level, about six 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 5.71 km² municipal area 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. The depression is flanked in the west by the Côte d'Andelarre (up to 420 m), in the east by the Bois de la Craye (382 m) and the height of the Bois de la Côte , at which the highest point of Andelarrot is reached at 431 m . The community area extends eastward over another hollow to the Grand Bois de Vellefaux . 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.
Neighboring municipalities of Andelarrot are Andelarre and Noidans-lès-Vesoul in the north, Échenoz-la-Méline and Vellefaux in the east, Velleguindry-et-Levrecey in the south and Velle-le-Châtel and Mont-le-Vernois in the west.
