Rosey is a commune in the French department of Haute-Saône in the region Bourgogne Franche-Comté .
geography
Rosey is located at an altitude of 246 m above sea level, about eleven kilometers southwest of Vesoul (as the crow flies). The village extends in the central part of the department, on the plateau of the upper Saône basin, at the western foot of the heights that rise between the river valleys of Saône and Ognon .
The area of the 14.64 km² municipal area includes a section in the area of the upper Saône basin. The main part of the area is occupied by a plateau, which is on average at 250 m. It is drained by the Ruisseau de Vy-le-Ferroux stream , the valley of which is slightly sunk into the plateau, to the north-west to the Saône. The plateau is made up of tertiary sediments . Agricultural use predominates, but there are also larger areas of forest ( Bois Lécerty in the west and Grand Bois de Rosey in the southwest).
In the southeast, a step leads to the wooded ridge of the Côte d'Andelarre , which belongs to the hilly area between the Saône and Ognon. It consists of limestone sediments from the middle Jurassic period . The highest peaks of Rosey form the peaks of the Bois du Mont and the Bois du Rossignol at 371 m . Apart from the rivulet of the Ruisseau de Vy-le-Ferroux, there are no surface rivers because the rainwater seeps into the karst subsoil.
Neighboring municipalities of Rosey are Raze and Baignes in the north, Mailley-et-Chazelot in the east, Grandvelle-et-le-Perrenot in the south and Neuvelle-lès-la-Charité in the west.
history
Rosey is first mentioned in a document in 1092. In the Middle Ages, the village belonged to the Free County of Burgundy and in it to the area of the Bailliage d'Amont . In 1227 a priory was founded here that originally belonged to the Cluniaceans . Together with Franche-Comté , Rosey finally came to France with the Peace of Nijmegen in 1678. In 1772, the French king gave the priory property to the Saint-Jacques hospital in Besançon. Today Rosey is a member of the community association Communauté de communes des Combes, which comprises 22 localities .
Attractions
The Saint-Barthélemy church was consecrated in 1773 and has rich furnishings from the 18th and 19th centuries. In front of the church there is a calvary , which is dated to 1620.
The former mansion dates from the 16th century. Remains of the Dominican convent have also been preserved from this period. The town center is characterized by various houses from the 16th to 18th centuries, which show the traditional style of the Haute-Saône.
The Musée Morice Lipsi, a sculpture park and an art collection with works of the 20th century of international importance are known far beyond the region.

With 268 inhabitants (January 1, 2017) Rosey is one of the small communities in the Haute-Saône department. After the population had decreased significantly in the first half of the 20th century (503 people were counted in 1881), only relatively minor fluctuations have been recorded since the early 1960s.
Economy and Infrastructure
Until well into the 20th century, Rosey was a village dominated by agriculture (arable farming, fruit growing and cattle breeding) and forestry. Today there are some local small business operations, including a dairy and a quarry business. In the last few decades the village has transformed into a residential community. Many workers are therefore commuters who go to work in the Vesoul agglomeration.
The place is off the major thoroughfares on a department road that leads from Traves to Mailley-et-Chazelot. Another road connection is with Baignes.
