context_page_description: Seyne is a commune in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, a department of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in south-east France. It is roughly 30 km north of Digne.
  The village's official name is listed under the INSEE Official Geographic Code as "Seyne". However it is known locally as "Seyne-les-Alpes", not to be confused with La Seyne-sur-Mer which is the second largest city in the Var.
  The residents are traditionally referred to as "Seynois". In more recent years locals have been known to also go by "Seynard" and "Seynarde".
  The Alpes-de-Haute-Provence tourism board listed Seyne-les-Alpes as one of their "villages and towns of character", an award given to places around the region with remarkable architecture and less than 2000 inhabitants.
context_section_description: The village sits at an altitude of 1,260 metres (4,130 ft). The Seyne Valley, known for its rich soil, is nicknamed the Swiss Provençal.
  The only river to run through the village is the Blanche, a tributary of the Durance.
  The local area is made up of 2,800 hectares (6,900 acres) of woodland and forests.
