Montfuron, Medieval village in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France
Located at 545 meters elevation, Montfuron overlooks the Provence landscape with stone buildings arranged in concentric circles around the hilltop position.
The village name derives from Monsfurnorum, referring to the gypsum ovens that operated in the region during the Roman occupation of southeastern France.
The central square windmill, constructed during the reign of Louis XIV, represents traditional Provençal agricultural methods and regional architecture.
The village provides a central parking area, orientation table, public library, and local bar, with direct access to hiking trails.
Marine fossils scattered throughout the surrounding terrain make this location significant for geological research and natural history studies.
