The '''Parpaillon Massif''' ({{langx|fr|massif du Parpaillon}}, {{IPA|fr|masif dy paʁpajɔ̃|pron}}) is a [[massif]] in the [[French Alps]]. It serves as the boundary between the [[Departments of France|departments]] of [[Hautes-Alpes]] to the north and the [[Alpes-de-Haute-Provence]] to the south. Additionally, it separates the [[Embrun, Hautes-Alpes|Embrun region]] from the [[Ubaye Valley]]. The massif extends from the [[Lac de Serre-Ponçon|Serre-Ponçon Lake]] in the west to the [[Col de Vars]], which distinguishes it from the [[Massif d'Escreins|Escreins Massif]], and to the middle Ubaye valley in the southeast, near [[Saint-Paul-sur-Ubaye]], where it is bordered by the [[Massif du Mercantour-Argentera|Mercantour-Argentera Massif]] and the [[Chambeyron Massif]].
== Etymology ==
For some, the meaning of this toponym is ''papillon'' ({{Translation|butterfly}}), which is "''parpalhon''" in [[Occitan language|Occitan]].{{Cite book |last=Nègre |first=Ernest |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jbpVLN1tRNoC |title=Toponymie générale de la France |date=1996 |publisher=Librairie Droz |isbn=978-2-600-00133-5 |pages=1192 |language=fr}} However, it is more likely derived from the pre-Gaulish ([[Ligurian language|Ligurian]]) term "''pal''," which is common in the names of mountains and [[Escarpment|escarpments]].
