The municipality of Charette-Varennes is located in the Bresse countryside , on a hill on the left (south) bank of the Doubs . Varennes lies a little to the northwest in a loop of the Doubs. The Bourg lies west of a bend in the Doubs at about 340 °, from which a still water , called Les Mortes, branches off to the south , into the La Charetelle . The municipal boundary today does not exactly follow the course of the Doubs , but runs to Longepierre both south and north of the river. The Guyotte also flows through the southern municipal area and then forms part of the western municipal boundary. The department road D73 runs through the municipality from Frontenard to the west through Charette and then south towards Pierre-de-Bresse . The D73 runs partly on the route of the old Roman road that connected Chalon-sur-Saône with Pierre-de-Bresse and Tavaux . In the southern part of the municipality there is a chain of four Étangs , which are drained into the Guyotte by a Bief , an artificial watercourse for the management of the Étangs . The southern municipality - especially in the area of the Étangs - is heavily forested, furthermore there is only a larger wooded area between the districts of Charette and Varennes. The following hamlets and corridors belong to the municipality: Bas-de-Charette, Boucherie, Bourg-Neuf, Chapelle, Longbois, Maison-Rouge, Palette, Pommelée, Quintin, Rapilles, Recule, Reppe .

Toponymy

Varennes probably originated from the Middle Latin Varenna as a name for uncultivated, swampy land, but also had the meaning of woodland , which was mostly reserved for the landlord for hunting. Charette seems to derive its name from the fact that the residents of Quintin used to park their cars there.

history

In the 10th and 11th centuries the district of Charette was inhabited by lepers , the village did not come into being here until the 15th century. Until then, Quintin (now a hamlet SSW of Charette) was the main settlement area. Quintin and the neighboring hamlet of Longbois were a fief of the lords of Verdun . In the hamlet of Quintin you can still see the remains of the former castle that existed there in the 14th century. The residents preferred to live in Quintin , where the climate was less humid, but they used to park their carts (French: la charrette ) in what is now the settlement area, which later gave rise to the place name.

A 13th-century chapel was located near the river bank, housed a Blessed Virgin of the Sick and the boatmen, survived several floods until it was finally destroyed in 1920. The current church dates from the middle of the 18th century, is dedicated to Saint Remigius and the tower is covered with glazed bricks . The rescued Holy Virgin is in an annex. According to the toboggan of 1481, the residents of Charette were required to bake their bread in the landlord's oven. As wages the people had to deliver the 18th bread. In 1518 a mill was built on the Doubs and from the toboggan it can be seen that the Lords of Varennes had the right to mine gold from the Doubs . In 1740, the Marquis de Broissia, Lord of Neublans, Knight of Honor of the Parlements, owned a ring made from gold fragments from the Doubs.

In 1880 there was still a brick factory (founded by Emile Jacob). The Mairie- École was completed in 1907. Today's retirement home was originally a house for sisters and today's hotel-restaurant is located in the Villa Crays .

The lordship of Varennes was a fiefdom of Longepierre (municipality north of the Doubs) and was sold to the Counts of Burgundy by the de Vienne family at the end of the 13th century . In 1729 the rule was taken over by the de Truchis family , who are still the owners of the new castle (built at the beginning of the 19th century). In 1988 there were still 18 farms in Charette and three in Varennes.

A large cross in the center of the village was erected in 1862 as a reminder that the church was destroyed in 1793. Since then the people of Varennes have belonged to the parish of Charette. The school that later became Mairie was built in 1847.
