From the course of the river, the community area extends to the east over the wide floodplain into a gently undulating landscape, which is partly made up of arable land and meadow, partly also with forest ( Bois de la Garenne ). At 297 m, the highest point in Ollans is reached on a hill east of the village.
Neighboring communities of Ollans are Maussans in the north, Avilley in the east, Cendrey in the south and Larians-et-Munans in the west.
history
Ollans is mentioned for the first time in 1218 under the name Oslans . The spellings about Osllans (1239), Oyllans (1243) and Olans (1421) have been handed down from the following period . Since it was first mentioned, Ollans belonged to the property of the Saint-Vincent monastery in Besançon. Under this sovereignty it formed its own small rule. Together with Franche-Comté , the village finally came to France with the Peace of Nijmegen in 1678. Today Ollans is part of the Doubs Baumois municipal association .

With 39 inhabitants (January 1, 2017), Ollans is one of the smallest municipalities in the Doubs department. After the population had decreased significantly in the first half of the 20th century (114 people were still counted in 1911), only minor fluctuations have been recorded since the early 1960s.
Economy and Infrastructure
Until well into the 20th century, Ollans was primarily a village characterized by agriculture (arable farming, fruit growing and cattle breeding). Even today, the residents live mainly from their work in the first sector. Outside the primary sector there are few jobs in the village. Some workers are also commuters who work in the surrounding larger towns.
The village is located off the main thoroughfares on a departmental road that leads from Besançon to Rougemont . The closest connection to the A36 motorway is around 16 kilometers away. Another road connection is with Larians, which is within sight on the other bank of the Ognon.
