geography
Faucogney-et-la-Mer is located at an altitude of 364 m above sea level, 16 kilometers northeast of Luxeuil-les-Bains and about 23 kilometers north of the city of Lure (as the crow flies). The scattered settlement community extends in the northeast of the department, in the valley of the Breuchin in the southwestern foothills of the Vosges .
The area of the municipal area of 14.14 km² comprises a section of the plateau landscape on the southwestern edge of the Vosges, which is criss-crossed by valleys. From north to south the area is crossed by the valley of the Breuchin, which provides drainage to the Lanterne . The narrow flood plain averages 360 m and has a maximum width of one kilometer. It is mainly used for agriculture.
At the breakthrough point at Faucogney, the Breuchin valley is sunk more than 200 m deep into the surrounding high plateau. The steep, mostly wooded slopes are subdivided by various short side streams of the Breuchin. To the east, the parish extends to the edge of the Esmoulières plateau. On its west side, the valley is flanked by the heights of Bois de la Noire Epine and Faucogney le Bois . The Montagne Saint-Martin mountain rises south of Faucogney . At 563 m, the highest point in the municipality is reached above the La Mer district . The plateau shows a loose structure of forest, pasture land, heathland and moors. It reaches an average height of over 500 m. In the basin there are many lakes that are predominantly of natural origin and were created during the Ice Age by glacial grinding. Some have also been dammed and are used for fish farming.
From a geological and tectonic point of view, the heights consist partly of sediments that were deposited during the Lias , partly the crystalline bedrock emerges. Quaternary deposits can be found on the heights as well as in the valleys . The entire municipality is part of the Ballons des Vosges Regional Nature Park .

history
Faucogney-et-la-Mer was created on February 8, 1806 by the merger of the parishes of Faucogney and La Mer. Faucogney and his castle were the ancestral seat of the Lords of Faucogney , who were at times also Vice Counts of Vesoul .
The most famous of the Sires de Faucogney was Jean III. (1330/63 attested), who married Isabella of France around 1338/40 († after 1363), daughter of King Philip V and widow of Guigues VIII , Dauphin of Viennois († 1333). He donated Faucogney Castle in 1363 (his own marriage remained childless) to Johann von Neuchâtel (Jean de Neuchâtel, † 1369) on the occasion of the wedding of Johann and his niece Jeanne de Faucogney († 1373). Johann von Neuenburg's heiress was his sister Isabella von Neuenburg, Countess von Nidau (see list of rulers of Neuchâtel ), who left the castle to her brother's widow in 1370. Her second husband, Henri de Longvy, Seigneur de Rahon († 1396) ( House Chaussin ) sold the castle in 1374, after the death of his wife, for 20,000 gold francs to Philip the Bold , Duke of Burgundy , while Jeanne de Faucogney their son, Jean III de Longvy, as heir
