Champlive is a French municipality with 248 inhabitants (as of January 1 2017) in Doubs in the region Bourgogne Franche-Comté .
geography
Champlive is located at 391 m , about 17 kilometers east-northeast of the city of Besançon (as the crow flies). The village extends in the Jura , on the so-called first plateau, a wide basin at the southern foot of the Jura ridge (Côte de Vaite), on a tributary of the Gour.
The area of the 8.20 km² municipality covers a section of the French Jura. The main part of the area is taken up by the wide first Jura plateau, which is an average of 400 m. It forms a wide basin with no above-ground drainage. To the southwest of the village is the infiltration point of the Ruisseau du Gour , which is also fed by a spring near Champlive. After prolonged rainfall or snowmelt, the sinkhole is unable to take in enough water, so that a lake is dammed up on the plateau. In the Champlive area, the plateau is predominantly made up of arable and meadow land. In the south, the communal soil extends into the wooded area of the Bois de Vuillorbe .
To the north, the municipal area extends over the elongated, wooded ridge of the Jura ridge ( Côte de Vaite and Bois de la Côte ). This ridge, which has a saddle at the Château de Vaite and is very narrow, separates the plateau from the Doubstal to the north . On this ridge, the highest elevation of Champlive is reached at 584 m. The ridge drops steeply with rock faces towards the Doubstal. In the far north the area extends down to the course of the Doubs.
Neighboring communities of Champlive are Laissey and Ougney-Douvot in the north, Dammartin-les-Templiers in the east, Glamondans and bouclans in the south and Osse and Deluz in the west.
history
Champlive is first mentioned in a document in 1305 under the name Chanlive . The Château de Vaite was probably built in the early 13th century and then belonged to the Lords of Montfaucon , later to the House of Chalon, before it was in 1480 by the troops of King Louis XI. was destroyed. After its reconstruction, it was annexed to the Bouclan rule in 1522. Champlive was devastated in the Thirty Years War . Together with Franche-Comté , the village came to France with the Peace of Nijmegen in 1678.

The Champlive Chapel was built in 1643. From the Château de Vaite, which was demolished in 1793 by order of the authorities because it was feared that it would become a haven for robbers, ruins of the square medieval keep have been preserved. Another attraction is the tunnel or tunnels on the road to Laissey

With 248 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2017), Champlive is one of the small communities in the Doubs department. After the population had decreased significantly in the first half of the 20th century (211 people were still counted in 1881), a marked increase in population has been recorded again since the mid-1970s.
Economy and Infrastructure
Until well into the 20th century, Champlive was primarily a village characterized by agriculture (arable farming, fruit growing and cattle breeding) and forestry. In addition, there are now some local small businesses. In the meantime, the village has also turned into a residential community. Many workers are commuters who work in the Besançon agglomeration.
The village is located away from the major thoroughfares on a department road that leads from Roulans to Gonsans . Other road connections exist with Dammartin-les-Templiers, Bouclans and Nancray.
