Xamontarupt (French pronunciation: [ʃamɔ̃taʁy] ) is a commune in the Vosges department in Grand Est in northeastern France.
Geography[edit]
Abutting the heavily wooded massif of le Fossard, the village is crossed by the Cuves stream, an outflow of the Vologne river.
History[edit]
Evidence of protohistoric human presence: construction from set stones, flakes of cut quartz. 400-year old holly in the village, probably some of the oldest in Europe, can be seen on the route leading to the Haut-du-Bois maquis.
In 1656, the village was called "Charmontaruz"
Population[edit]
Its inhabitants are known as Rupéains[3] or Xamontois in French.
