Chassey-lès-Scey is a commune in the French department of Haute-Saône in the region Bourgogne Franche-Comté .
geography
Chassey-lès-Scey is located at an altitude of 213 m above sea level, two kilometers south of Scey-sur-Saône-et-Saint-Albin and about 14 kilometers west of Vesoul (as the crow flies). The street village extends in the central part of the department, slightly elevated on the eastern edge of the Saône Valley .
The area of the 4.38 km² municipal area covers a section of the central Saône valley. The western border always runs along the Saône, which here draws a large arc extending to the northwest. The Saône's alluvial lowland averages 206 m and is approximately one kilometer wide. The river has been developed into a waterway, with the loop at Chassey-lès-Scey being cut off by a side canal. The river banks are therefore preserved in a near-natural state in the area of the village.
From the course of the river, the community area extends eastward over the valley floodplain and a steep slope to the adjacent plateau, which spur-like extends into the loop of the Saône. This plateau consists of an alternating layer of calcareous and sandy-marl sediments from the upper Jurassic period . It is subdivided by several short valley niches that open towards the Saône. The fertile soils of the valley and plateau are mainly used for agriculture. At 254 m, the highest point of Chassey-lès-Scey is reached on a hill east of the village. In the far east, the communal soil extends into the forest of the Bois des Coupes.
Neighboring municipalities of Chassey-lès-Scey are Scey-sur-Saône-et-Saint-Albin and Ferrières-lès-Scey in the north, Chemilly in the east, Bucey-lès-Traves in the south and Ovanches in the west.
history
In the Middle Ages, Chassey belonged to the Free County of Burgundy and in it to the area of the Bailliage d'Amont .

Together with Franche-Comté , the village finally came to France with the Peace of Nijmegen in 1678. Today Chassey-lès-Scey is a member of the Communauté de communes des Combes, which comprises 22 villages . Ecclesiastically, the place belongs to Scey-sur-Saône.

Economy and Infrastructure
Until well into the 20th century, Chassey-lès-Scey was primarily a village characterized by agriculture (arable farming, fruit growing and cattle breeding) and forestry. A foundry was important to the village from an early age. In the last few decades the village has transformed into a residential community. Many workers are therefore commuters who work in the larger towns in the area. Chassey-lès-Scey has a port on the side canal of the Saône.
The place is located off the major thoroughfares on a department road that leads from Scey-sur-Saône to Fretigney-et-Velloreille . Another road connection is with Vesoul.
