Châtillon-Guyotte is a French municipality with 129 inhabitants (as of January 1 2017) in Doubs in the region Bourgogne Franche-Comté .
geography
Châtillon-Guyotte is located at 295 m , about 15 kilometers northeast of the city of Besançon (beeline). The village extends in the undulating landscape between the river valleys of Doubs and Ognon , at the southern foot of the castle hill of Châtillon.
The area of the 4.44 km² large municipal area includes a section in the extreme northwestern mountain ranges of the Jura . The main part of the area is occupied by a one kilometer wide depression, which is drained by a source stream of the Ruisseau de la Corcelle north to the Ognon. It is predominantly made up of arable and meadow land, partly also with forest. In the north, this hollow is flanked by the isolated castle hill of Châtillon ( 360 m ). To the south the community area extends over a steep slope up to the wooded ridge of the Bois de Sassy , which separates the area from the Doubstal. At 500 m, the highest point in Châtillon-Guyotte is reached on the ridge of the Bois de Sassy.
Neighboring municipalities of Châtillon-Guyotte are Marchaux-Chaudefontaine in the north and west, Pouligney-Lusans in the east and Amagney in the south.
history
Châtillon Castle was founded at the beginning of the 13th century. It formed the center of a rule that belonged to a sideline of the lords of La Roche-sur-l'Ognon. When Étienne de Cicon married Guyotte de Vellefaux in 1248, he added Guyotte to her name in honor of the castle. Together with Franche-Comté , Châtillon-Guyotte finally came to France with the Peace of Nijmegen in 1678.
Attractions
Ruins have been preserved from the 13th century Châtillon-Guyotte castle.

With 129 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2017), Châtillon-Guyotte is one of the smallest municipalities in the Doubs department. After the population had steadily decreased in the first half of the 20th century (157 people were counted in 1881), significant population growth has been recorded again since the mid-1970s.
Economy and Infrastructure
Until well into the 20th century, Châtillon-Guyotte was a village dominated by agriculture (arable farming, fruit growing and cattle breeding) and forestry. In addition, there are now various local small 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 well developed in terms of traffic. It is located near the departmental road that leads from Besançon to Rougemont . The closest connection to the A36 motorway , which crosses the municipality, is around three kilometers away. Further road connections exist with Marchaux and Roulans .
