geography
Landresse is located 570 m above sea level, 13 kilometers southeast of Baume-les-Dames and about 34 kilometers east of the city of Besançon (as the crow flies). The village extends in the Jura , in a hollow, south of the Chasalan plateau.
The area of the 14.43 km² large municipality covers a section of the French Jura. The central part of the area is occupied by the Mulde von Landresse, an approximately 1 kilometer wide depression that opens to the west to the Orsans basin. This trough is flanked in the north by the Chasalan plateau (up to 660 m) and in the south by the Villers plateau. The terrain rises gradually to the east and culminates in the ridge south of the Bois du Fahy . Here, at 856 m, the highest elevation of Landresse is reached. The municipal area extends with a narrow tip to the southeast on the high plateau of Pierrefontaine (average 700 m) and includes a small moor area.
Neighboring municipalities of Landresse are Lanans and Ouvans in the north, Sancey with the Commune déléguée Sancey-le-Grand and Laviron in the east, Germéfontaine , Villers-la-Combe and Vellerot-lès-Vercel in the south and Courtetain-et-Salans in the west.
history
In the Middle Ages, Landresse belonged to the Passavant estate, which had belonged to the lords of Montbéliard since the 14th century. Together with Franche-Comté , the village came to France with the Peace of Nijmegen in 1678. Since 1998, Landresse has been a member of the Communauté de communes du Pays de Pierrefontaine-Vercel, which comprises 44 villages .
On January 1, 2009, the arrondissement membership of the municipality was changed. Previously belonging to the Arrondissement Besançon , all municipalities of the canton came to the Arrondissement Pontarlier.

Until well into the 20th century, Landresse was mainly a village characterized by agriculture (arable farming, fruit growing and cattle breeding). In addition, there are now some local small businesses. Many workers are also commuters who work in the surrounding larger towns.
The village is off the main thoroughfares on a departmental road that leads from Vercel-Villedieu-le-Camp to Vellevans . Other road connections exist with Orsans and Pierrefontaine-les-Varans .
