Origin and history

La Grave is a village in the Hautes-Alpes, known for its charm and exceptional natural setting. Although its foundation period is not specified in the available sources, its status as "most beautiful village" underlines its heritage and tourist importance in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Mountain villages such as La Grave have historically played a central role in the lives of local communities, often organized around agriculture, livestock farming and transalpine trade.

Their architecture and geographical position reflect an adaptation to the constraints of relief and climate, while serving as points of passage or refuge for travellers and merchants crossing the Alps.
