Welcome to Montbrun, one of the oldest and mst picturesque villages of Dr\u00f4me Proven\u00e7ale, located a few kilometres away from the camping site in Dr\u00f4me<\/a>. <\/p>\n The history of the village dates back to the Roman times, and it is first mentioned in the 13th century. At that time, Montbrun belonged to different families, before coming into the ownership of the Dauphins, who got rid of it shortly afterwards. In 1780, Montbrun became the capital of a canton in the district of Buis. Today, Montbrun belongs to Communes of Baronnies in Dr\u00f4me Proven\u00e7ale.<\/p>\n Located on a rocky mountain, the village consists of tall houses, topped with ocher-hued tiles. The view is dominated by the ruins of a castle which was built in the Renaissance times and of which only a few towers remain. The belfry and the watchtower, constructed in the 13th century, are some of the local landmarks.<\/p>\nThe history of Montbrun<\/h2>\n
