Barles, Mountain commune in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France
The village sits at an elevation of 987 meters in the Bès valley, surrounded by steep ridges and high mountains forming distinct valleys.
The area first appeared in historical records in 1193 as Barlis, with a castle built in 1206 and a hospital established in 1351.
The Notre-Dame Church, constructed in 1853, stands as a central religious monument with regular pilgrimages to the Saint Clement priory church.
