At 1 260 m above sea level, Entraunes is the first major village traversed by Var. It was almost completely destroyed in 1875 by a dramatic fire, which quickly spread into its wooden houses. Rebuilt in stone, it is devoid of the network of small medieval alleys, which remains the essential characteristic of most villages in the upper country. This is why its main interest lies in its own situation, a natural site of great mineral beauty. The mountains form a kind of circus around this nascent Var valley, which takes its source on the territory of the commune. Long poor, landlocked, relatively isolated during the winter months, regularly dépeuplée for decades by the escape of young people, this dynamic valley regained a new economic life with summer tourism in the Mercantour and winter tourism stimulated by the recent creation of several stations in the French Alps.
