La Pisseure is a municipality in the French department of Haute-Saône in the region Bourgogne Franche-Comté .

geography

La Pisseure is located at an altitude of 237 m above sea level, five kilometers southwest of Saint-Loup-sur-Semouse and about 27 kilometers north of the city of Vesoul (as the crow flies). The village extends in the northern part of the department, on the western edge of the Semouse valley, at the foot of Les Touillottes .

The area of ​​the 2.30 km² municipal area comprises a section in the gently undulating landscape north of the Lanterne valley plain . The eastern border runs in the middle of the wide valley plain of the Sémouse , which divides here into two arms. It flows through an alluvial lowland , which averages 235 m and a maximum width of two kilometers.

To the west, the community area extends over the valley floodplain and the adjacent ridge to the Planey valley plain . The ridge running in north-south direction culminates on the summit of Les Touillottes (280 m). It continues to the north in the Bois du Fays , where the highest point of La Pisseure is reached at 300 m. In geological and tectonic terms, it consists of an alternating layer of sandy-marl and calcareous sediments that were deposited during the Lias ( Lower Jurassic ). Shell limestone from the Middle Triassic also appears in some places .

Neighboring municipalities of La Pisseure are Anjeux and Saint-Loup-sur-Semouse in the north, Ainvelle in the east and Plainemont in the south.

history

The municipality of La Pisseure was settled very early, as the wall foundations of a Gallo-Roman villa testify. In the Middle Ages, La Pisseure 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 Saint-Loup. Together with Franche-Comté , the place finally came to France with the Peace of Nijmegen in 1678. The village has no church, it belongs to the parish of Anjeux.

With 37 inhabitants (January 1, 2017), La Pisseure is one of the smallest municipalities in the Haute-Saône department. After the population had decreased significantly in the first half of the 20th century (104 people were counted in 1886), a slight population growth has been recorded again since the beginning of the 1980s.

Economy and Infrastructure

La Pisseure is still a village dominated by agriculture (arable farming, fruit growing and cattle breeding) and forestry. The hydropower of the Semouse was used to operate a mill until 1988. Outside of the primary sector there are very few jobs in town. Some 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 Anjeux to Ainvelle. Another road connection is with Plainemont.
