Nope (but you are more or less in the correct corner of France)

About 30 kilometers from Sisteron, on the Beuch River. This will teach me not to pick random photos just because they look nice - I didn't know this place would be so obscure.

Yeah, DON'T make it too esoteric because by then, it becomes a chore--at least speaking for myself. These are just fun, off-the-cuff little diversions -- NOT paid research projects.

Look like Serres or Aspres sur Buëch. But those are very very small villages ...

Serres it is. If I ever have another go, I will try to make it less of a chore. My problem is that I only know Paris and Languedoc first hand, so ......

Very difficult to find IMHO, Serres is a very small village (less than 2000 inhabitants) you can't have heard of if you haven't lived in the area (I have for a while ).
I think we should concentrate on mid-sized French towns at the very least if we want to give people a chance to enjoy finding them

So here is another (much bigger ) nice French town:
