geography
Jasney is located at an altitude of 248 m above sea level, seven kilometers west of Saint-Loup-sur-Semouse and about 28 kilometers north of the city of Vesoul (as the crow flies). The village extends in the northern part of the department, in the basin of the Ruisseau des Auvets, on the edge of the Vôge plateau .
The area of the 13.02 km² municipal area includes a section in the gently undulating landscape on the edge of the Vôge. The central part of the area is taken up by the broad basin of the Ruisseau des Auvets , which provides drainage to the southeast to the Planey . The alluvial low lies at an average of 240 m and has a maximum width of one kilometer. Agricultural use prevails here.
The valley of the Ruisseau des Auvets is flanked on both sides by a plateau, which is divided by various hollows. In the east, the municipal area extends into the forest Le Fenez , in the northeast to the height of the Champs Montantes (285 m) and in the north to the heights of La Vangille , on which the highest elevation of Jasney is reached at 321 m. The forest area of the Grand Bois extends to the west , with the valley basin of the Ruisseau de Cou marking the western and southern borders. With a narrow tip, the municipality floor extends southeast into the wide floodplain of the Planey. From a geological and tectonic point of view, the northern part of the municipality consists of shell limestone from the Middle Triassic . To the south of it is a zone with sandy-marl and calcareous sediments that were deposited during the Lias ( Lower Jurassic ).
The neighboring municipalities of Jasney are Girefontaine in the north, Anjeux in the east, Plainemont and Dampierre-lès-Conflans in the south and Melincourt in the west.
history
The discovery of Roman coins testifies to an early inspection and settlement of the area. The origin of the settlement was probably formed by a Benedictine priory. In the Middle Ages, Jasney belonged to the Free County of Burgundy and in that part of the Bailliage d'Amont . The existence of the aristocratic Jasney family has been proven since 1153. In 1569 the village was sacked and sacked by the soldiers of Duke Wolfgang von Pfalz-Zweibrücken . Together with Franche-Comté, the place finally came to France with the Peace of Nijmegen in 1678.
Attractions
The village church of Saint-Martin was rebuilt in 1777. The remarkable furnishings include the richly carved wooden altar, paneling and furniture from the 18th century.
There is a house with a turret (15th / 16th century) near the church. The place has two mansions: the Château d'en Haut and the Château d'en Bas, which was built in 1760 and now houses the Mairie (municipal administration) and the school. The covered lavoir on Rue des fontaines, which once served as a wash house and cattle trough, was built around 1840.

With 233 inhabitants (January 1, 2017) Jasney 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 (570 people were still counted in 1881), only slight fluctuations have been recorded since the early 1960s.
Economy and Infrastructure
Until well into the 20th century, Jasney was mainly a village characterized by agriculture (arable farming, fruit growing and cattle breeding) and forestry. The water power of the village stream was previously used to operate a mill. Today there are some local small businesses, mainly in the construction industry and in agricultural machinery. 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.
The village is located off the major thoroughfares on a department road that leads from Vauvillers to Conflans-sur-Lanterne . Further road connections exist with Girefontaine, Anjeux and Dampierre-lès-Conflans.
