Goux-sous-Landet is a French commune with a population of 71 (as at 1st January 2017) in the Doubs department in the region of Bourgogne Franche-Comté .
geography
Goux-sous-Landet is located at 425 m , about 19 kilometers south-southwest of the city of Besançon (as the crow flies). The village extends in the Jura , on the plateau west of the valley of the Loue , which extends here in an arc far to the north, at the eastern foot of the height of the Landet.
The area of the 5.42 km² large municipality covers a section of the French Jura. The eastern part of the area is occupied by the Goux plateau, which is at an average of 440 m and consists partly of meadows, partly of forest. The plateau has no above-ground watercourses because the rainwater seeps into the karstified subsoil. To the west, the community area extends over the densely wooded, elongated ridge of the Bois du Landet , which is oriented in a north-south direction. Here, at 581 m, the highest point in Goux-sous-Landet is reached.
Neighboring municipalities of Goux-sous-Landet are Palantine in the north, Rouhe in the east, Cussey-sur-Lison and Le Val with Pointvillers in the south and Pessans and Lavans-Quingey in the west.
history
In the Middle Ages belonged to Goux Kastlanei of Quingey . Together with Franche-Comté , the village came to France with the Peace of Nijmegen in 1678. To avoid confusion with other localities of the same name, Goux was officially renamed Goux-sous-Landet in 1923.
