Champlitte-la-Ville is a nearby village (1 km) from the town of Champlitte, but distinct from it. The apparent homonymy of the two localities can be explained as follows: the early settlement was first installed, the Gallo-Roman period (first century AD), in the plain, near water, constituting a "villa" (large farm on the present site of Champlitte-la-Ville).
Much later, around the 10th century, the lords of Fouvent have built a castle on the promontory (center of the current Champlitte), easier to defend. Part of the settlement was then moved slowly around the castle, forming a village castral, called "Champlitte-le-Chateau" to distinguish it from "Champlitte la villa".
Archaeological research conducted on its site link, through the centuries, the activity of the ancient Gallo-Roman to modern technology of today.
Currently, 88 Champlitte-la-Ville account the census of 2009. It is one of six common associated Champlitte.
Economy: If the activity of farmers still keeps great economic importance, the village was born and grow a company become the European leader in coating metals.
SIGHTSEEING
The church was built in the 11th century. The heart of the "villa". Of that time remain the arches of the Romanesque nave and the octagonal baptismal font, monolithic, carved many symbolic motifs. The church was enlarged and modified over the centuries, but it is one of the few Romanesque churches in Haute-Saône to be standing despite the ravages of time and men. With its adjoining priory, it is the oldest religious institution sector Champlitte. It is listed in the inventory of historical monuments.
Curiosity: The pavement has a fifty tombstones, epitaphs at, most dating from the 16th century. The oldest are those of Renaud de Vergy (1313) and that of Poulain Say Knight (1360), most recently the 18th century.
Promenade: The river (the show, a tributary of the Saône) is nearby, the bridge is old, but is not dated with certainty, and the banks of the river offer a nice long walk shaded.
