Charmoille is a municipality in the French department of Haute-Saône in the region Bourgogne Franche-Comté .
geography
Charmoille is located at an altitude of 255 m above sea level, about six kilometers northwest of the city of Vesoul (as the crow flies). The village extends in the central part of the department, in the Vesoul basin, on the plateau north of the broad valley of the Durgeon .
The area of the municipality of 5.04 km² includes a section in the area of the Vesoul basin. The main part of the area is occupied by a plateau, which is on average at 250 m. It is mainly used for agriculture. The site is drained by the Ruisseau de la Vaugine , which in sections marks the eastern border. To the north, the municipality extends into the forest of the Bois du Chanoi , in which the highest elevation of Charmoille is reached at 294 m. In geological and tectonic terms, the southern part of the plateau consists of a limestone layer deposited during the Sinemurian , while sandy-marl-like sediments from the lower Jurassic period (lias) emerge in the northern sections .
Charmoille's neighboring municipalities are Bougnon in the north, Pusy-et-Épenoux in the east, Pusey in the south and Grattery in the west.
history
In the Middle Ages, Charmoille belonged to the Free County of Burgundy and in that part of the Bailliage d'Amont area . It formed the center of a small lordship that has been documented since 1503. Together with Franche-Comté , Charmoille finally came to France with the Peace of Nijmegen in 1678. The village belongs to the parish of Pusey.
Attractions
The Saint-Maurice church was built in the 18th century and houses a crucifix (15th / 16th century) as well as an altar and paintings from the time it was built.

With 484 inhabitants (January 1, 2017) Charmoille is one of the smaller communes in the Haute-Saône department. After the population had decreased significantly in the first half of the 20th century (in 1891 there were still 216 people), a marked increase in population was recorded, especially during the 1970s. During this time, the population has tripled. After a temporary slight downward trend, a population increase has been observed again since 2000.
Economy and Infrastructure
Until well into the 20th century, Charmoille was primarily a village characterized by agriculture (arable farming, fruit growing and cattle breeding). Today there are some local small businesses, especially a food industry and a car repair shop. In the last few decades the village has transformed into a residential community. Many workers are therefore commuters who work in the Vesoul agglomeration.
The place is well developed in terms of traffic. It is on the main road N19, which leads from Belfort via Vesoul to Langres . The N19 has been expanded to four lanes in the Charmoille area and relieves the village center of through traffic. Another road connection is with Faverney .
