geography
La Planée is located at 952 m above sea level, about nine kilometers southwest of the city of Pontarlier (as the crow flies). The village extends in the Jura , in the Haut-Doubs, in a longitudinal hollow, which is separated by a ridge from the Lac de Saint-Point to the east , at the southern foot of the Montagne du Laveron .
The area of the 13.00 km² municipal area covers a section of the French Jura. The southern part of the area is occupied by the approximately two-kilometer-wide longitudinal basin of Malpas, which lies at an average of 920 m and is oriented towards the southwest-northeast in this region according to the strike direction of the Folded Jura . From a geological and tectonic point of view, it forms a syncline . The area is drained by a short side stream to the northeast to the Doubs , while the southwestern part lies in the catchment area of the Drugeon . To the northwest, the community area extends over a gently sloping slope onto the adjacent, predominantly wooded, wide ridge of the anticline of the Montagne du Laveron . Here, on the summit of the Bois de Chôle, at 1112 m, the highest point of La Planée is reached.
Neighboring municipalities of La Planée are La Rivière-Drugeon , Sainte-Colombe and Granges-Narboz in the north, Oye-et-Pallet in the east, Malpas and Vaux-et-Chantegrue in the south and Bouverans in the west.

With 296 inhabitants (January 1, 2017), La Planée is one of the small communities in the Doubs department. After the population had decreased significantly in the first half of the 20th century (322 people were counted in 1886), population growth has been recorded again since the mid-1970s.
Economy and Infrastructure
Until well into the 20th century, La Planée was primarily a village characterized by agriculture, in particular dairy farming and cattle breeding, as well as forestry. In addition, there are now a few local small businesses, including a sawmill. In the meantime, the village has also turned into a residential community. Many workers are commuters who work in the larger towns in the area.
The village is located away from the larger thoroughfares. Local road links exist with Bulle , Vaux-et-Chantegrue, Malpas and Oye-et-Pallet.
