Understand
Located on the road leading toItaly by the Col de Larche, Meyronnes is the least populated village of the community of communes Ubaye Valley, with 59 inhabitants in the 2012 census, just behind Larche. He was a victim of the rural exodus.

Since Marseilles, take the A51 motorway to La Saulce, then part of the national 85 and the departmental 942, 900B and 900 towards Barcelonnette.
Since Nice and the French Riviera, access to the Ubaye valley can be done via the Var valley and the Cayolle pass, or the Tinée valley via the Bonette-Restefond pass. These passes are however closed in winter, more than six months in the year given their altitude, higher than 2,300 meters.
