Barrême, Rural commune in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France
Barrême is a small rural commune located in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence region of southeastern France. The village sits in a mountainous area rich in fossil deposits that have shaped its scientific importance.
The place first appeared in written records during the 11th century, following a destructive fire. It later became integrated into the feudal landholding system that governed the region.
The local geological museum displays fossil collections that reveal the region's ancient natural history. Visitors can trace how the landscape and life forms evolved over millions of years.
This place is best reached by road through the mountain region. Visitors should plan time to explore both the village and the museum at a relaxed pace.
The name of this place was given to a geological time period of the Early Cretaceous era called the Barremian. This connection reflects how significant its rock formations are to scientists worldwide.
