Chambornay-lès-Bellevaux

Chambornay-lès-Bellevaux is a common French, located in the department of the Haute-Saône and the area Franche-Comté.

The village of Chambornay Bellevaux is located in edge of the river Ognon, in a green and timbered valley. The reference to Bellevaux (Vallis Bleated) comes from the presence of an abbey, in the east of the village, whose monks played a great part in the local economy.

The village is built on two levels: - the low part around the source of Doye which feeds a very pretty covered laundrette of a tiled roof supported by cast iron columns and a round fountain and transforms then into a small brook which will further throw in Ognon a few hundred meters.

- the high part on the side of a small hill which is prolonged in the west by the St-Justin Mount surmounted by a pretty vault the 10th century and registered with the additional inventory of the historic buildings. They is very close from there that the first inhabitants of Chambornay had been established, before going down again towards the water point of Doye. In the North-West, a second main forest, Chanois constitutes with the precedent a whole of 160 ha forests subjected to the ONF.

While arriving by the west, the RN31, since the St-Justin Mount, one discovers the first houses of the village, including one pretty house-strong with a tower, the St-Germain church dating from the 12th century with the cemetery around. The street St-Germain, bordered of gutters in paving stones in the course of restoration, goes down towards the place from the Lavender fields.

In north, the Castle-Strapping man is, old house-strong tonic with the Middle Ages. Beyond that, they are fields and wood with in the North-East the solid mass of Châtelard and the place known as " Craye" , culminating point of the village.

In the south, a plain enriched by the alluvia of the ognon, borders the village.
