Rochefourchat, Mountain commune in Drôme, France.
Located at 844 meters altitude, Rochefourchat includes a church, a converted barn, and remains of an old castle within its 12.7 square kilometers.
The bishops of Die built the castle of Rocha Forcha in 1178 as a defense position against the Holy Roman Emperors in this mountainous area.
A contemporary art installation called 'Middle of Nowhere' decorates the church wall, establishing an unconventional open-air gallery in this remote location.
The town hall opens every Friday morning from 9:00 to 12:00, providing administrative services to residents and visitors in this sparsely populated area.
With only one permanent resident recorded in 2021, Rochefourchat maintains the status of the least populated commune in France.
