geography
Thurey-le-Mont is located at 240 m , about 17 kilometers north-northeast of the city of Besançon (as the crow flies). The village extends on a slightly elevated position on the eastern edge of the Ognon valley , north of the ridge of the Grande Côte in the extreme northwest of the Doubs department.
The area of the 4.83 km² municipal area includes a section of the Ognon Valley. The western border runs along the Ognon, which flows here with large river loops through a flat valley low about one kilometer wide. Former gravel pits in the valley were filled with water. From the course of the river, the municipal area extends to the east over the wide floodplain into a gently undulating landscape, which is partly made up of arable and meadow land, and further to the east, mainly forest ( Bois de la Chaille , Bois Bas ). At 283 m, the highest point in Thurey-le-Mont is reached on a hill in the Bois Bas. In the far east, the area extends to the foot of the Bois du Mont ridge .
Neighboring municipalities of Thurey-le-Mont are Valleroy in the north, Rigney in the east, Moncey in the south and Aulx-lès-Cromary and Chambornay-lès-Bellevaux in the west.
history
In the Middle Ages, Thurey was part of the domain of Châtillon-le-Duc . Together with Franche-Comté , the village finally came to France with the Peace of Nijmegen in 1678. To avoid confusion with other communities of the same name, Thurey was officially renamed Thurey-le-Mont in 1923. Today the village is part of the Doubs Baumois municipal association .
