Marcoux, Mountain village in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France
This village of 450 inhabitants sits against a high cliff of black marl clay, with mountain peaks of Couard and Cheval Blanc visible in the distance.
The village traces its origins to 1113, when the local castle and lands belonged to the bishops of Digne until the French Revolution in 1789.
The 12th-century Saint-Étienne Church, designated as a historical monument, features an exceptional 17th-century gilded wooden altarpiece and a bell tower from 1889.
Located 8 kilometers from Digne-les-Bains, Marcoux connects to the region via the D900 road and maintains a network of hiking trails to neighboring peaks.
The village territory spans 32 square kilometers, encompassing 1,035 hectares of forest and multiple streams that flow into the Bléone River.
