Perched at an altitude of 1,200 meters in the heart of the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, the village of Le Poil fascinates with its extraordinary history. Mentioned as early as the 11th century, it suffered from rural exodus and abandonment in the mid-20th century, before sinking into oblivion.

Description

Today, archives, stories, and restoration projects are bringing this ghost village back to life. Through twenty-five years of historical research, Alain Bertrand will unveil the unique history of this forgotten village, poised between memory and rebirth.
