La Corbière is a municipality in the French department of Haute-Saône in the region Bourgogne Franche-Comté .
geography
La Corbière is located at an altitude of 380 m above sea level, nine kilometers east-southeast of Luxeuil-les-Bains and about 32 kilometers northeast of the city of Vesoul (as the crow flies). The village extends in the northeastern part of the department, in the southwestern foothills of the Vosges , on the plateau des Mille Étangs .
The area of the 3.15 km² municipal area covers a section of the plateau landscape on the southwestern edge of the Vosges. The area is occupied by a plateau sloping slightly to the southwest, which belongs to the Mille Étangs plateau . The plateau, which consists partly of crystalline bedrock and partly of red sandstone from the Lower Triassic , was shaped by glaciers during the Ice Ages. The landscape is therefore divided into knolls and hollows. It shows a loose structure of pastureland and forest, heathland and moors. There are often small lakes in basins, which are predominantly of natural origin and formed during the Ice Age by glacial grinding. Some ponds were created or dammed higher by the monks for fish farming since the 11th century. The largest pond on the parish is the Étang Gérion . The area is drained via the Lambier to the Lanterne . At 421 m, the highest point of La Corbière is reached on the hill near the Pierre Mourey .
La Corbière consists of the districts of La Corbière-Bas (380 m) and La Corbière-Haut (393 m). Neighboring municipalities of La Corbière are La Proiselière-et-Langle in the north, Les Fessey in the east, Belmont in the south and Magnivray and La Bruyère in the west.
history
In the Middle Ages, La Corbière belonged to the Free County of Burgundy and in it to the area of the Bailliage d'Amont . Local rule was held by the Lords of Faucogney. Together with Franche-Comté , the place finally came to France with the Peace of Nijmegen in 1678. Today La Corbière is a member of the community association Communauté de communes du Pays de Luxeuil, which comprises 13 localities .
Attractions
Sights include a calvaire and two covered lavoirs from the 19th century, which were once used as a wash house and cattle trough.

With 106 inhabitants (January 1, 2017), La Corbière 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 (229 people were still counted in 1886), only relatively minor fluctuations have been recorded since the mid-1970s.
Economy and Infrastructure
La Corbière is still today a village dominated by agriculture (arable farming, fruit growing and cattle breeding), forestry and fish farming. Outside of the primary sector there are few jobs in town. Some workers are therefore commuters who work in the larger towns in the area.
The village is located away from the major thoroughfares on a department road that leads from Froideconche to Écromagny. There are other road links with Les Fessey and Magnivray.
