Mane
Translated by software

Towards the prehistory and Archaeologists, Mane in Latin Mana or Manua, is a site marked out by vestiges of aqueducts and churchyards. Besides, most of the toponymistes consider that the village pulled(fired) its name of that of the Roman goddess Mana Genita, who presided over the burial.

Today the first summary image presented by Mane to the traveler who approaches him(it) is that of a shaded hook from which get loose two silhouettes :

Being seen by the village

that of a to limp, 31 metres high and that of a Medieval citadel (12th century), unique(only) intact mentally retarded feudal fortification in High Provence. But this municipality contains as well the other wealth, besides its numerous bories and its laundries, numerous points of the territory of Mane, deserve visit, among them let us quote:
- Church Saint André 16th,
- The Chapel of the Penitent,
- Miravail's ( 1572 ) house,
Being quite classified in the supplementary inventory of Ancient memorials.
