Allos, Mountain village at 1425 meters in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France
Located in the Verdon Valley between Barcelonnette and Nice, Allos stretches across steep mountain slopes near the source of the Verdon River at 2500 meters.
The settlement first appeared in documents from 1056 under the name 'ad Alodes', while three significant fires impacted the community in 1718, 1747, and 1769.
The village maintains strong connections to both the Ubaye Valley and Provence regions, reflecting a dual cultural identity shaped by historical administrative boundaries.
The D908 road provides access to the commune through mountainous terrain, connecting the village to Barcelonnette in the north and Colmars in the south.
The territory includes Europe's largest natural high-altitude lake, Lake Allos, situated at 2230 meters within the Mercantour National Park boundaries.
