City: Courchaton, a community in the
Haute-Saône département, is located at an altitude
of 350 meters above sea level about 68 km northeast of Besançon.
The village is situated on the Northwest edge of the hills
between the valleys of Ognon and Doubs. Half of the area of
the Haute-Saône is used as fields and pasture. This
is also true of this village surrounded by greenery.
The first time that this place is mentioned was in a
charter of 1149, but it should be noted that archaeological
excavations show that it was inhabited much earlier than that.
Today 446 inhabitants (2006) live here.
