Thoard, Commune in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France
Located on a rocky promontory at 765 meters altitude, Thoard extends over 143 square kilometers in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of southeastern France.
The 13th-century Church of Our Lady of Bethlehem stands as the primary historical monument in Thoard, featuring architectural elements from both medieval and Renaissance periods.
The village maintains its French administrative traditions through regular municipal meetings and hosts cultural events including Balkan music concerts and writing workshops.
The municipal services, led by Mayor Denis Baille until 2026, operate from the town hall on Avenue Paul Avignon, providing administrative support to 733 residents.
The population density of only 17 inhabitants per square kilometer reflects the vast natural spaces within the commune's boundaries, ranging from 667 to 1,652 meters in elevation.
