Germ, Mountain village in Hautes-Pyrénées, France
Germ spreads across mountainous terrain at 1160 meters elevation, featuring stone houses, multiple fountains, and narrow streets through the settlement.
The population of Germ decreased from 189 residents in 1806 to 33 inhabitants in 2022, reflecting the rural exodus in French mountain regions.
The Romanesque Church of Invention-de-Saint-Etienne displays architectural elements including an IHS monogram entrance and two notable stone sculptures.
Visitors reach the village by following the first five kilometers of Col de Peyresourde from Louron Valley, with parking available near the church.
A water-powered sawmill from 1850 stands near the communal washhouse, representing the traditional wood processing methods of the region.
