Lantenot is a municipality in the French department of Haute-Saône in the region Bourgogne Franche-Comté .
geography
Lantenot is located at an altitude of 315 m above sea level, seven kilometers north of Lure and about 29 kilometers northeast of the city of Vesoul (as the crow flies). The village extends in the eastern part of the department, on the edge of the Luxeuil plain, on both sides of the Lanterne , on the southwest edge of the Plateau des Mille Étangs .
The area of the 8.26 km² municipal area covers a section of the southwestern Vosges foothills. The south-western part of the area is taken up by the alluvial plain of Luxeuil, which averages 315 m. It is drained to the west by the lantern , which flows through a wide valley. At Lantenot it picks up the Gravissière from the east. Agricultural use prevails here. There are also numerous ponds, most of which were dammed (some by monks as early as the 11th century) and are used for fish farming. The largest are the Étang de la Brosse and the Étang de Billieux . The peaks of Mont Tatie (338 m) and Les Guiottes (331 m) rise from the plain . The western border runs in the forest area of the Bois de Chenorey et des Combes .
To the northeast, the terrain on both sides of the Lanterne valley gradually rises to the plateau des Mille Étangs and shows a stronger relief. The hills are predominantly forest-covered ( Bois de Branle and Grands Bois ). At 431 m, Lantenot's highest point is reached in the north-east in the Grands Bois . In geological and tectonic terms, the area consists of red sandstone from the lower Triassic and partly of crystalline bedrock. Deposits from the Pleistocene can be found in various places .
Neighboring municipalities of Lantenot are Belmont and La Lanterne-et-les-Armonts in the north, Mélisey in the east, Saint-Germain and Linexert in the south and Rignovelle in the west.
history
Remains of the Roman traffic route that led from Langres to the Upper Rhine indicate a very early inspection and settlement of the area. In the Middle Ages Lantenot 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 village finally came to France with the Peace of Nijmegen in 1678. Today Lantenot is a member of the communal association Communauté de communes des Franches-Communes, which comprises 14 localities . It belongs to the parish of Saint-Germain and does not have its own church.

With 353 inhabitants (January 1, 2017) Lantenot is one of the smaller municipalities in the Haute-Saône department. After the population had decreased significantly in the first half of the 20th century (457 people were still counted in 1881), only relatively minor fluctuations have been recorded since the early 1960s. Only in the last few years has the population increased again.
Economy and Infrastructure
Until well into the 20th century, Lantenot was primarily a village characterized by agriculture (arable farming, fruit growing and cattle breeding), forestry and fish farming. Today there are some local small businesses, mainly in the agricultural machinery and construction industries. 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 away from the major thoroughfares on a department road that leads from Luxeuil-les-Bains to Mélisey. Further road connections exist with Lure, Saint-Germain, Belmont and Linexert.
