Éguilles is a village in Hautes-Alpes located at an elevation of about 1,471 meters (4,826 feet) along the right bank of the Guil river. The settlement centers on its church and blends residential buildings with local services that support everyday life.
History
The village took its current form as a mountain community with deep ties to the Guil river that cuts through the valley. Over time the population grew, with most residents depending on farming and local activities for their livelihood.
Culture
The church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste shapes the village center, and its bells mark the rhythm of daily life for residents. The bell tower is visible from the village square and serves as a natural gathering point.

The village has basic services on hand like a grocery store, bakery, and hair salon for daily needs. Visitors should note that the high elevation means conditions can vary significantly depending on the season.
