Vaumeilh

Vaumeilh (French pronunciation: [vomɛj]; Occitan: Vaumelha) is a commune in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France.

It is a small Provençal village with narrow, winding streets which backs on to a hill.

The Durance flows 1 km (0.62 mi) away below a plateau which grows mainly cereals and apples and also supports some livestock.

The most common theory is that the name comes from the Latin word 'Vallis Mellis' which is translated as valley of honey.

A 'patriotic society' was created in the spring of 1792, which was one of 21 in the department of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence to debate political matters.
