France has some municipalities with extremely low populations, not exceeding 12 residents. These villages reflect the demographic shifts in rural France and provide insight into a lifestyle that has become rare. Rochefourchat in Drôme holds the record with just one inhabitant, while Aingoulaincourt in Haute-Marne has 11 residents spread over 510 hectares. These communities are spread across various regions, from Jura with Mérona and its eight residents to Alpes-de-Haute-Provence where Majastres is perched at 1,143 meters above sea level. In Drôme, La Bâtie-des-Fonds marks the source of the Drôme river at over 1,000 meters, while in Doubs, Châteauvieux-les-Fossés overlooks the Loue valley from its rocky promontory. There are also examples in the north, such as Épécamps in Somme with its red brick houses or Leménil-Mitry in Meurthe-et-Moselle.
