Flagy is a commune in the French department of Haute-Saône in the region Bourgogne Franche-Comté .
geography
Flagy is located at an altitude of 236 m above sea level, about ten kilometers north of the city of Vesoul (as the crow flies). The village extends in the central part of the department, in the northeast of the Vesoul basin, on the Bâtard, on the southern edge of the Bois du Château .
The area of the 9.70 km ² municipal area includes a section in the area of the Vesoul basin. From north to south, the area is crossed by the valley of the Bâtard, which provides drainage to the Durgeon . While the valley is relatively narrow in the northern part, shortly before Flagy at the confluence of the Ruisseau de Vienne it widens into a wide alluvial plain . This has a maximum width of two kilometers and averages 235 m. It is mainly used for agriculture. A plateau leads east to the Saulx basin.
The plain is flanked in the south by the forest heights of Fougetot (326 m) and Grand Boisson , on which the highest elevation of Flagy is reached at 338 m. They are made up of a resistant layer of limestone from the middle Jurassic period . Towards the north, the terrain gradually rises to the extensive forest area of the Bois du Château (up to 335 m). From a geological and tectonic point of view, this section of terrain consists of alternating layers of sandy-marl and calcareous sediments from the lower Jurassic period (Lias).
Neighboring municipalities of Flagy are Breurey-lès-Faverney and Le Val-Saint-Éloi in the north, Varogne and Vellefrie in the east, Colombier and Villeparois in the south and Auxon in the west.
history
Remains of a Roman traffic route and a Gallo-Roman settlement are evidence of the early settlement of the area. Flagy is mentioned for the first time in 1169. In the Middle Ages the village belonged to the Free County of Burgundy and in it to the area of the Bailliage d'Amont . It formed the center of a small lordship. Together with Franche-Comté , Flagy finally came to France with the Peace of Nijmegen in 1678. Today Flagy is the administrative seat of the community association Communauté de communes des Six Villages comprising six villages .
Attractions
The three-aisled Church of St. Bartholomew of Flagy was built in the 19th century. A manor house with a round tower and spiral staircase dates from the 16th century. The covered lavoir was built in 1850 and was once used as a wash house and cattle trough.

With 156 inhabitants (January 1, 2017) Flagy 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 (274 people were still counted in 1911), only minor fluctuations have been recorded since the early 1960s.
Economy and Infrastructure
Until well into the 20th century, Flagy was mainly a village characterized by agriculture (arable farming, fruit growing and cattle breeding), fish farming and forestry. 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 located off the major thoroughfares on a department road that leads from Vesoul to Conflans-sur-Lanterne . There are other road connections with Vellefrie and Le Val-Saint-Éloi.
