History of Lambruisse
The name, attested in the form Lambrusca around 1200, comes from the Occitan lambruisso, denoting the wild mountain vine. After the Roman conquest, the area came under the civitas Sanitensium (Senez). In the Middle Ages the village — mentioned around 1239 — belonged to the viguerie of Val-de-Barrême and was a dependency of a neighbouring parish, since vanished, carried off by the Great Plague. A patriotic society was set up during the Revolution (at the end of 1792); the Napoleonic land register was completed in 1837. In the 20th century, as many as five lavender distilleries operated in the commune. During the Second World War, massacres connected with the Resistance (FTP) are documented, in particular on 6 April 1944 at the Laval farm and on 17 July 1944. The economy remains rural, dominated by sheep farming and mixed cropping; tourism is still diffuse (walking, nature).
