Parpaillon massif

The Parpaillon massif are a massif in the French Alps. It serves as the boundary between the departments of Hautes-Alpes to the north and the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence to the south. Additionally, it separates the Embrun region from the Ubaye valley. The massif extends from the Serre-Ponçon lake in the west to the Col de Vars, which distinguishes it from the Escreins massif, and to the middle Ubaye valley in the southeast, near Saint-Paul-sur-Ubaye, where it is bordered by the Mercantour-Argentera massif and the Chambeyron massif.

Etymology
For some, the meaning of this toponym is papillon, which is "parpalhon" in Occitan. However, it is more likely derived from the pre-Gaulish (Ligurian) term "pal," which is common in the names of mountains and escarpments.
