Prehistory and Antiquity
Cut
and polished flints and Gallic coins unearthed during plowing bear
witness to an ancient occupation. Two Gallo-Roman villas, one of
which has mosaics and a swimming pool.
Middle Ages
The
hamlet of Vannaire which depends on Chaumont-le-Bois for the
spiritual is the object of a seigneury.
Modern era
The
castle was modernized in the 18th century.
Vannaire is a rural municipality, because it is one of the low or
very low density municipalities, within the meaning of the INSEE
municipal density grid.
In addition, the town is part of the
Châtillon-sur-Seine attraction area, of which it is a common crown. This
area, which includes 60 municipalities, is categorized as an area with
fewer than 50,000 inhabitants.
Land use
The land cover of the
municipality, as it appears from the European biophysical land cover
database Corine Land Cover (CLC), is marked by the importance of
agricultural land (63.1% in 2018) , a proportion identical to that of
1990 (63.1%). The detailed distribution in 2018 is as follows: arable
land (47.9%), forests (36.9%), heterogeneous agricultural areas (13.3%),
grasslands (1.9%).
The IGN also provides an online tool to
compare the evolution over time of land use in the municipality (or
territories at different scales). Several periods are accessible in the
form of maps or aerial photos: the Cassini map (18th century), the staff
map (1820-1866) and the current period (1950 to today).
The evolution of the number of inhabitants is known through the
population censuses carried out in the municipality since 1800. From
2006, the legal populations of the municipalities are published annually
by INSEE. The census is now based on an annual collection of
information, successively concerning all the municipal territories over
a period of five years. For municipalities with less than 10,000
inhabitants, a census survey covering the entire population is carried
out every five years, the legal populations of the intermediate years
being estimated by interpolation or extrapolation. For the municipality,
the first exhaustive census falling within the framework of the new
system was carried out in 2006.
In 2020, the town had 50
inhabitants, down 9.09% compared to 2014 (Côte-d'Or: +0.7%, France
excluding Mayotte: +1.9%).
In 2010, among 40 people of working age (15–64 years old), 33 were economically active, 7 were inactive (the activity indicator was 82.5%, in 1999 it was 66.7%). Of the 33 active residents, 32 people worked (18 men and 14 women), 1 woman was unemployed. Among the 7 inactive people, 4 were pupils or students, 2 were retirees, 1 was inactive for other reasons.
