[3] The fictional character Jean-Luc Picard – who features in the American TV series Star Trek: The Next Generation (and subsequent films based upon it) as captain of the 24th-century starships USS Enterprise-D and USS Enterprise-E – is described as having been born in "La Barre" on 13 July 2305.

[5] The location of Picard's family village was indicated as being in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France on wine bottle labels seen in the trailer for Star Trek: Picard, released on 23 May 2019.

The La Barre in Jura was closer to the demarcation line between the zone libre of Vichy France and its occupied territory.

La Barre, Haute-Saône is further south and well past the demarcation line.

The Jura town is also closer to the center of the view in the opening scene of the second episode of the same season, a descent from space towards western France that eventually cuts to the château.
