Moustiers-Sainte-Marie is a Provençal village in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, set between cliffs above a valley. Its narrow streets, stone houses and faience workshops give the village a distinctive craft heritage. Visitors come to stroll through the old town, browse the ceramic shops and enjoy a mountain setting that leads into the landscapes of the Verdon. Rue de la Bourgade provides easy access to local attractions on foot.

The Musée de la Faïence tells the story of this renowned craft, while Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption Church and its bell tower overlook the village. A walk also leads to the waterfall and the paths climbing into the hills. Verdon Regional Nature Park offers hiking routes and viewpoints over the surrounding hills. Further afield, Lake Sainte-Croix and the gorge draw visitors for walks, water sports and panoramic views. A car makes it easier to explore this rural region; Marseille Provence Airport is 123 km away.

The warmer months are well suited to outings around the lake and hikes in the gorge, although visitor numbers are higher in summer. Spring and early autumn bring pleasant temperatures for exploring the village and trails. You can start the day by discovering the faience and narrow streets, then continue with an excursion to the lake or Verdon viewpoints. Wear suitable shoes for the sloping paths and take time to return to the village at the end of the day.
