Tartécourt is a municipality in the French department of Haute-Saône in the region Bourgogne Franche-Comté .
geography
Tartécourt is located at an altitude of 225 m above sea level, six kilometers east-northeast of Jussey and about 28 kilometers northwest of the city of Vesoul (as the crow flies). The village extends in the northern part of the department, in the valley of the Ruisseau de la Sacquelle (also Ruisseau de la Tuilerie ), east of the Saône valley .
The area of the 2.29 km² municipal area covers a section in the gently undulating landscape east of the upper Saône valley. From north to south the area is crossed by the alluvial lowland of the Ruisseau de la Sacquelle , which provides drainage to the Saône. The valley level is on average 225 m and has a maximum width of 500 meters. The lowland is flanked on both sides by plateaus, in the west by the height of Bellevue (up to 280 m), in the east by a plateau that gradually rises towards the Mont aux Pies . At 299 m, the highest point in Tartécourt is reached here. From a geological and tectonic point of view, the terrain consists of alternating layers of sandy-marl and calcareous sediments, which were mainly deposited during the Lias ( Lower Jurassic ). In some places shell limestone from the Triassic comes to light. The area is partly forested, partly it is used for agriculture.
Neighboring municipalities of Tartécourt are Magny-lès-Jussey in the north, Venisey in the east, Montureux-lès-Baulay in the south and Cendrecourt in the west.
history
Tartécourt was first mentioned in a document in 1225 under the name Tritecort . The names Treitecort (1256), Tertecoriat (1430) and Tertecourt (1538) have come down to us from a later period . The place name is derived from the Germanic personal name Trito and the old French word cort (farmstead). In the Middle Ages, the village belonged to the Free County of Burgundy and in that part of the Bailliage d'Amont . The local rule was shared by the Cherlieu monastery and the lords of Montureux-lès-Baulay. Together with Franche-Comté , Tartécourt finally came to France with the Peace of Nijmegen in 1678. The monks of Cherlieu Monastery set up a blast furnace here in 1730 , which ceased operations in 1781.
Attractions
The chapel of Tartécourt was built in 1835 and has a richly carved altar (18th / 19th century) and various statues from the 18th century. At the entrance to the village is the lavoir, the roof of which is supported by five pillars. It was once used as a wash house and cattle trough.

With 27 inhabitants (January 1, 2017), Tartécourt is one of the smallest municipalities in the Haute-Saône department. After the population had decreased significantly in the first half of the 20th century (91 people were still counted in 1886), slight population growth has been recorded again in recent years.
Economy and Infrastructure
Tartécourt is still a village dominated by agriculture (arable farming, viticulture and cattle breeding) and forestry. Outside of the primary sector there are few jobs in town. Some workers are therefore commuters who work in the larger towns in the area.
The place is located off the major thoroughfares on a department road that leads from Montureux-lès-Baulay to Magny-lès-Jussey. Another road connection is with Cendrecourt.
