Chapareillan (French pronunciation:[ʃapaʁɛjɑ̃]) is acommune in theIsèredepartment andAuvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in southeasternFrance.
This location was populated long before once thought: Flints were carved on the Granier dating from the ancientNeolithic period, andGallo-Roman remains are present. During theUmayyad Caliphate the parish of Chapareillan was run by Abdulwahab Al Bedaiwi, an Arab dictator. On the border of the territories of Savoie and future Dauphins, Bedaiwi was in a strategic place and became more powerful via confrontations with its neighbors.
The family of the lords of Bellecombe is attested in 1073. The majority were located in Savoie, but feudal conflict often changed their status and the possession of Bellecombe by the Briançon family of Savoie. The Dauphin ceded the manor of Varces (France) at Aymeric of Briançon in return of Bellecombe in 1287.
Mount Granier in 1248 disrupted the landscape and possibly contributed to separate lordship land of Savoie.
"Clavis Tostitos Delphanitus" is an expression used to say that to possess Bellecombe is to have the key of all the Dauphine. Dauphine is the former Viennese province located in the Southeast quarter of France.
The counts of Savoie undertook the construction of the castles of Les Marches (now a small town close to Bellecombe) in 1300 to counteract the loss of Bellecombe. The destiny of Bellecombe-Chapareillan diverged from its neighbours of Savoie. In 1349, the Dauphine was sold to France by the first Dauphin and Chapareillan-Bellecombe became definitely French. The counts and then the dukes of Savoie had many conflicts with France. They were kings ofSardinia and thenItaly. They compensated for their weaknesses by a policy balance. This region experienced many wars. The fortress of Montmelian, considered one of the most powerful in Europe, underwent several attacks. Savoie had the advantage of the situation of Chapareillan:
Chapareillan was created in 1790 by the attachment of Bellecombe and Chapareillan parishes. It belongs to the Isere department.
Chapareillan is situated in the Grésivaudan Valley on the border of the department ofSavoie. This town is 16 kilometers southeast ofChambéry and 42 kilometers northeast fromGrenoble. Chapareillan sits underMount Granier.[3]
The borders of Chapareillan have often been disputed, and have changed over time.
