Moustiers-Sainte-Marie is a Provençal village in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, surrounded by limestone hills and landscapes shaped by the Verdon. Its old lanes, faience workshops and tiered houses make for a leisurely visit. The village suits travellers who want to alternate between local heritage, breaks on a terrace and outings in nature. The hotel is in the Saint-Michel district, in an area where you can reach the village streets on foot.

The Faience Museum explores a craft for which Moustiers is renowned. The Church of Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption and Sainte-Anne Chapel round out a visit to the local heritage sites. For the scenery, the Verdon Regional Natural Park offers hiking trails and viewpoints overlooking the gorges. Lake Sainte-Croix is suited to swimming and water sports; its beaches and shores also offer places to pause by the water. A car makes it easier to travel between the village, the lake and the various Verdon sites.

In spring and autumn, temperatures are pleasant for exploring the trails and nearby villages. In summer, the days are well suited to trips to the lake and water activities; it’s best to plan outdoor activities for early morning or late afternoon. You could start the day with the lanes and museum, then continue with a walk in the park or a stop by the lake. The scenery changes with the light, making the viewpoints worth visiting at different times of day.
