Location & what to see
Moustiers-Sainte-Marie is a Provençal village in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, known for its narrow streets, old façades and faience craftsmanship. Houses climb the slopes between two rocky outcrops, above a valley crossed by a waterfall. Place du Couvert is a meeting point in the centre of the village; from its narrow streets, you can discover workshops, vaulted passages and views of the heights. This stop suits travellers who enjoy exploring a village on foot and combining heritage, scenery and outdoor activities.
The Faience Museum tells the story of a craft tradition closely associated with Moustiers. Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption Church and the waterfall are among the sights to see in the centre. Sainte-Croix Lake, 5 km away, offers beaches and water activities. The Verdon Gorge, about a 10-minute drive away, draws hikers, canoeists and visitors seeking panoramic views. The GR4 trail crosses the area towards Castellane. Manosque train station is 45 km away; a car makes it easier to travel between the village, the lake and the natural sites.
From mid-June to mid-July, you can visit the lavender fields of the Valensole Plateau, about a 30-minute drive away. In summer, the days are suited to outings on the water and walks in the gorge; it is best to set off early to enjoy the trails before the hottest part of the day. In spring and autumn, the paths offer another way to explore the hills and villages of the Verdon. You can start the day at the museum and in the narrow streets, then continue to the lakeside or along a hiking route suited to the season.
