Allemagne-en-Provence (French: Germany-in-Provence) is a commune in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department in southeastern France.
Unlike the other French town called Allemagne, which changed its name to Fleury-sur-Orne in 1916 during World War I, Allemagne-en-Provence kept its name.
The inhabitants are called Armagnois / Allemagniens (not Allemands French: Germans).
The town is situated north of the Verdon River, about halfway between Manosque and the Lac de Sainte-Croix, the largest reservoir in France, which forms the western end of the Verdon Gorge.
