geography
Cormaranche-en-Bugey is located at 840 m , three kilometers south of Hauteville-Lompnes , about 20 kilometers east of the city of Ambérieu-en-Bugey and 41 km southeast of the prefecture of Bourg-en-Bresse (beeline). The former farming village extends in central Bugey , slightly elevated on the eastern edge of a wide valley of the High Jura , which is part of the Plateau d'Hauteville, at the foot of the Planachat.
The area of the 18.92 km² large municipality covers a section of the southern French Jura. The central part is occupied by a wide trough oriented in north-south direction (on average at 780 m ), which forms a syncline in the Jura folds . The one kilometer wide and two kilometer long depression forms an extensive moorland ( Marais de Vaux ), in the northern part of which is the moor lake Étang des Lésines . The area is drained to the north to the Albarine . The hollow rises slowly towards the south and a wide saddle leads to the Thézillieu basin.
In the west, the depression is flanked by the wooded ridge of the Forêt de Dergit and the Forêt de Rouge ( 1010 m ). The eastern boundary is marked by the elongated ridge of the plan agate ( 1234 m ), which is densely wooded except near the peaks . This anticline separates the Plateau d'Hauteville from the eastern depression of the Valromey . On the ridge of the Combe de Mazière , the highest point of Cormaranche-en-Bugey is reached at 1240 m . In the north the border lies in the headwaters of a side stream of the Albarine and runs in its erosion valley leading to the west .
Cormaranche-en-Bugey includes the hamlet of Vaux-Saint-Sulpice ( 790 m ) in the depression on the southern edge of the Marais de Vaux as well as various small groups of farms and individual farms. Neighboring towns of Cormaranche-en-Bugey are Hauteville-Lompnes in the west and north, Lompnieu and Sutrieu in the east and Thézillieu in the south.
history
Based on the findings of ceramic fragments and tools, it is believed that the area of Cormaranche has been inhabited since the 4th century.
The place was first mentioned in a document in 1055 under the name of Cormarinca . In the course of time the spelling changed via Cormarenchi (1142), Cormarenchia (1146) and Cormarenche (1670) to the current name Cormaranche . To avoid confusion with the almost identical place name Cormoranche-sur-Saône (also in the Ain department), the official name Cormaranche-en-Bugey was introduced in 1920 .
Since the 11th century, the area of Cormaranche belonged to the Saint-Sulpice monastery. The Count of Savoy was responsible for the sovereignty of the area. With the Treaty of Lyon , Cormaranche came to France in 1601.
Attractions
The current parish church of Saint-Martin was built between 1827 and 1835 in a mixture of neo-Romanesque and neo-Gothic styles . It has three naves and an octagonal bell tower. The parish hall dates from 1846 and was initially used as a schoolhouse.
