La Barre
France, France
La Barre is a small commune meaning "the bar" in French, and there are actually two separate communes with this name in eastern France, both located in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region.
One La Barre is in the Jura department with a population of 247 people (as of 2022), while the other La Barre is in the Haute-Saône department with only 98 inhabitants, making it one of the smallest municipalities in that department.
The Haute-Saône La Barre sits in the Ognon river valley at an altitude between 227 and 282 meters, about 26 kilometers from Besançon and 29 kilometers from Vesoul, and was first mentioned in written records in 1242.
Interestingly, "La Barre" is also a place name that appears in several other French locations, including La Barre-de-Monts in Vendée, La Barre-de-Semilly in Manche, and Deuil-la-Barre in Val-d'Oise, all named after the French word "barre" which typically refers to a geographical barrier like a ridge or cliff.
