Cendrey is a French municipality with 191 inhabitants (as of January 1 2017) in Doubs in the region Bourgogne Franche-Comté .
geography
Cendrey is located at 266 m , eleven kilometers northwest of Baume-les-Dames and about 25 kilometers northeast of the city of Besançon (as the crow flies). The village extends on a promontory on the southern edge of the valley low of the Ognon and above the valley of the Ruisseau de la Beune , in the extreme northwest of the Doubs department north of Mont Bichoux.
The area of the 5.52 km² large municipality covers a section of the Ognon valley. The northern border mostly runs along the Ognon, which flows here with large river loops through a flat valley that is around one kilometer wide. This is where the Ruisseau de la Beune flows , which ensures the drainage of large parts of the municipality. From the course of the river, the community area extends south over the wide floodplain to the adjacent slightly undulating landscape, which is partly made up of arable and meadow land, partly with forest and averages 280 m. With a narrow strip, the communal soil extends south over the Bois Bas and the Bois Haut to the ridge of Mont Bichoux , which is one of the foothills of the Jura Mountains . At 481 m, the highest point in Cendrey is reached here.
Neighboring municipalities of Cendrey are Larians-et-Munans , Ollans and Avilley in the north, Battenans-les-Mines and Rougemontot in the east, Villers-Grélot in the south and La Tour-de-Sçay and Flagey-Rigney in the west.
history
The municipality of Cendrey was settled very early, which is proven by various finds from the Neolithic , Roman and Merovingian times . Cendrey is first mentioned in 1182 under the name Sendré . In the course of time the spelling changed via Sendrey and Ceneriacus (13th century) to the current name. From the time it was first mentioned, Cendrey has belonged to the property of the Saint-Paul monastery in Besançon. Together with Franche-Comté , the village finally came to France with the Peace of Nijmegen in 1678. Today Cendrey is part of the Doubs Baumois Municipal Association .
Attractions
The village church of Saint-Rémi originally dates back to the 12th century, but was rebuilt in 1448. From this church building, the polygonal choir in the Gothic flamboyant style has been preserved, while the nave and bell tower were rebuilt in 1774. The so-called Château was built in 1666 as a town house.

With 191 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2017), Cendrey is one of the small communities in the Doubs department. After the number of inhabitants had decreased significantly in the first half of the 20th century (in 1906 there were still 319 people), only relatively small fluctuations have been recorded since the beginning of the 1960s.
Economy and Infrastructure
Until well into the 20th century, Cendrey was a village dominated by agriculture (arable farming, fruit growing and cattle breeding) and forestry. Today there are also various local small business and retail businesses. In the meantime, the village has also turned into a residential community. Many workers are therefore commuters who go to work in the Besançon agglomeration.
The village is located off the main thoroughfares on a departmental road that leads from Besançon to Rougemont . The closest connection to the A36 motorway is around 14 km away. There are other road links with Rougemontot, Battenans-les-Mines and Flagey-Rigney.
