Tartonne is a commune in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department in southeastern France.
The name of the inhabitants is Tartonnais.
The village of Tartonne is located bottom of Valley, 945 metres (3,100 ft) altitude, greatly influencing the climate; the differences of temperatures on the same day are very important: in 2004, the mean amplitude of temperature was 27 °C.
The landscape is marked by robine, a sedimentary rock of black color which is very soft and crumbly to air, but which is very strong in the subsoil.
The river Asse de Clumanc has its source in the north of the commune.
The commune has 200 hectares (490 acres) of woods and forests, though only 4.5% of its area.
Like its neighbour Clumanc, Tartonne does not correspond to a specific agglomeration, which is quite unusual. The habitat is very dispersed, and one can distinguish five groups of hamlets which are very distant from each other (up to 10 km):
This distance is due to the poverty of the soil, and the difficulty of building: the strong gradients, the presence of numerous watercourses, and the instability of the land, means that more than 85% of the territory of the commune is unbuildable.
None of the 200 communes of the Department is in the zero seismic risk zone. The Canton of Barrême, to which Tartonne belongs, is in zone 1b (low seismicity) according to the deterministic classification of 1991, based on the historical earthquakes, and in zone 4 (medium risk) according to the EC8 probabilistic classification of 2011. The municipality of Tartonne is also exposed to three other natural risks:
The municipality of Tartonne is exposed to any of the risks of technological origin identified by the prefecture and a foreseeable natural risk prevention plan (PPR) for the district exists; the DICRIM has existed since 2011.
