Barcelonnette, a mountain town with a Mexican flavour

During the 19th century, inhabitants of the Ubaye Valley emigrated to Mexico with the ambition of developing their know-how, especially in the textile industry.
 

Some of them, having enjoyed great success in their business, had lavish villas built upon their return to Ubaye, evidence of their success and their new wealth. These remarkable buildings, and tombs, constitute one of the cultural pillars of this region. Discover the incredible history of the Ubaye inhabitants in Mexico by visiting the Valley Museum (Musée de la Vallée), or by taking a guided tour of the town.
