Moustiers-Sainte-Marie Village

Moustiers-Sainte-Marie Village

The village of Moustiers-Sainte-Marie is one of the most beautiful villages in France. Its picturesque streets climb the cliffs that protect the houses from the cold winds that blow down from the mountains. At its feet, the fields of olive trees form a carpet that leads the eye towards the waters of Sainte-Croix Lake filled by the Verdon River. The village is often depicted by the image of a necklace-like chain and its pendant-like star.  This depicts the fulfilment of the vow of a knight who returned from the Crusades. The village is also famous for its renowned earthenware pottery and ceramics, which still continues with its 17th century traditions.
