Chariez is a municipality in the French department of Haute-Saône in the region Bourgogne Franche-Comté .
geography
Chariez is located at an altitude of 275 m above sea level, about six kilometers west of Vesoul (as the crow flies). The village extends in the central part of the department, in a hollow opening to the west to the valley of Durgeon at the foot of the heights that rise between the river valleys of Saône and Ognon .
The area of the 7.66 km² municipal area includes a section in the area of the hilly landscape between Saône in the north and Ognon in the south. The central part of the area is occupied by the Chariez basin. This is drained by the Dorfbach to the west to the Durgeon. The western part of the municipality has only a relatively weak relief and is taken up by the approximately one kilometer wide valley floor of the Durgeon. The lowland lies at an average of 215 m and is mainly used for agriculture. Beyond the Durgeon valley, the area extends to the plateau of Montigny (up to 240 m).
The Chariez Mulde is surrounded in the north, east and south by a high plateau that drops abruptly to the Mulde. The upper edge of the slope is crowned in various places by rock spikes and ledges. While sandy-marly layers of the Lias are present in the hollow , the plateau consists of calcareous sediments from the middle Jurassic period . In the north of the hollow is the plateau of Camp de César (386 m), in the south that of the Grand Bois de Lessus . To the southeast this plateau rises to the wooded summit of the Bois de Noidans , on which the highest point of Chariez is reached at 426 m.
Neighboring municipalities of Chariez are Montigny-lès-Vesoul in the north, Vaivre-et-Montoille and Noidans-lès-Vesoul in the east, Andelarre and Mont-le-Vernois in the south and Pontcey in the west.
history
The municipality of Chariez was already settled in prehistoric times. There was already a settlement on the strategically well-protected promontory of Camp de César in the Paleolithic .
In the Middle Ages, Chariez belonged to the Free County of Burgundy and in it to the area of the Bailliage d'Amont . The noble family of the same name died out in the 14th century. Chariez has been a parish since the Middle Ages. The Order of Malta and the Vergy family also owned land in the area. In the course of time Chariez was affected several times: 1360 by the Grandes Compagnies , 1475 by the troops under Craon and 1477 by the Lorraine. Together with Franche-Comté , the village finally came to France with the Peace of Nijmegen in 1678. Today Chariez is a member of the 19 localities community association Communauté de communes de l'agglomération de Vesoul .
Attractions
The Church of the Assumption of Chariez was rebuilt at the end of the 18th century. It is richly decorated, including statues from the 16th century, a crucifix (17th century) and furniture from the 18th century.
The Notre Dame de la Salette chapel dates from 1855 . Other sights include a stone cross in the village square, the former mansion, various winegrowers and farmhouses from the 15th to 18th centuries in the traditional Haute-Saône style and a country house (18th century) belonging to the Jesuits of Vesoul.

With 207 inhabitants (January 1, 2017) Chariez is one of the small communities in the Haute-Saône department. After the population had decreased significantly in the first half of the 20th century (510 people were still counted in 1886), only relatively minor fluctuations have been recorded since the mid-1970s.
Economy and Infrastructure
Until well into the 20th century, Chariez was a village dominated by agriculture (arable farming, fruit growing and cattle breeding). The once important viticulture has practically disappeared today. Today there are some local small businesses. In the last few decades the village has transformed into a residential community. Many workers are therefore commuters who go to work in the Vesoul agglomeration.
The place is away from the larger thoroughfares. The main access is from the D13 départemental road from Vesoul to Fresne-Saint-Mamès . Another road connection is with Andelarre. Chariez owns a train station on the now disused railway line from Vesoul to Gray.
