Barcelonnette Travel Guide
France
Barcelonnette is a small French town with a population of 3,487, set in the Alpine interior rather than on the coast. It is a practical base for exploring the surrounding mountain area, with colder winters and generally milder summers than France’s coastal resorts.
The airport serving the town is Barcelonnette Airport (BAE). There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so plan a visit around the mountain setting rather than seaside activities.
