Navenne is a municipality in the French department of Haute-Saône in the region Bourgogne Franche-Comté . It belongs to the Vesoul agglomeration.
geography
Navenne is located at an altitude of 260 m above sea level, about two kilometers south of the city of Vesoul (as the crow flies). The village extends in the central part of the department, on a slightly elevated position in a hollow on the southern edge of the Vesoul basin, at the northern foot of the Plateau de Cassini.
The area of the 3.91 km² large municipality includes a section in the area of the Vesoul basin. The central part of the area is occupied by the Navenne basin, which is open to the north. It has a width of about one kilometer. To the north, the area extends down to the alluvial plain of the Durgeon near Vesoul. This level is on average at 220 m. The northern border today runs along Rue Pierre Curie. In the past, the parish reached the river Durgeon, and the Vesoul train station area also belonged to Navenne. However, this part of the municipality was added to the city of Vesoul.
The hollow of Navenne is surrounded on three sides by wooded slopes that lead to the plateaus of the hilly landscape between the valleys of Saône and Ognon . In the east is the height of Montmartine , in the south the plateau of Cassini, on which the highest point of Navenne is reached at 441 m. In the west, the plateau of Mont Cita (386 m) protrudes as a protrusion northward into the basin. The upper edge of the steep slope to Navenne is crowned by ledges in several places.
While calcareous and sandy-marl-like sediments from the lower Jurassic period (Lias) emerge on the lower slope around Navenne , the mountain ranges consist of resistant limestone from the middle Jurassic period.
The settlement of La Tuilerie (225 m) in the Durgeon basin on the outskirts of Vesoul belongs to Navenne . Neighboring municipalities of Navenne are Vesoul in the north, Quincey in the east, La Demie in the south and Échenoz-la-Méline in the west.
history
The area of Navenne can look back on a very long history of settlement. Excavations on the plateau of Mont Cita (also Camp de César ) uncovered the remains of a Bronze Age settlement. Fragments are known from the Hallstatt period. The place name Navenne goes back to the Celtic word naven and means something like at the foot of the slope / hill .
In the Middle Ages, the village belonged to the Free County of Burgundy and in that part of the Bailliage d'Amont . Local rule had been held by the Lords of Faucogney since 1312. Navenne and Graisse, a village that was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War and not rebuilt, formed two small lordships. Together with Franche-Comté , Navenne finally came to France with the Peace of Nijmegen in 1678. In the second half of the 19th century, Navenne benefited from industrialization. Initially, the Vesoul train station was built on the municipal area, and industrial companies settled nearby. Around 1875 the entire parish in the plain of the Durgeon was allocated to the city of Vesoul, so that the population of Navenne decreased by almost 50% (440 people). Today Navenne is a member of the 19 localities community association Communauté de communes de l'agglomération de Vesoul .
Attractions
The single-nave village church of Saint-Martin was built in 1783 and has remarkable stained glass windows .
