"Moustiers-Sainte-Marie is a picturesque village in Provence, France, renowned for its breathtaking location nestled between dramatic cliffs and its rich history of pottery.
The village is highlighted by the stunning Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-Beauvoir, perched on a cliff overlooking the town.
Moreover, adding to its charm, a golden star hangs between two cliffs high above, symbolizing the village’s unique heritage and adding an enchanting touch to the landscape.
Moustiers-Sainte-Marie is my personal favorite village in Provence. I love exploring the local market stands and small shops that line the streets, offering a delightful array of handmade crafts and local produce. The golden star above adds a magical touch to the village, making my visit feel special."

"Moustiers-Ste.-Marie is only 10 minutes away by car from the Gorges du Verdon! Making it the perfect spot to end your evening.
The town is built into the mountains with a church sitting at the very top! There is a river running through the centre of town making it even more picturesque.
Hanging over the city there is a star. Legend has it, that a Knight from the Crusades was captured and throughout his captivity, he clung to his faith for guidance. Once he was released, he then placed a star over the church and the town as a symbol of thanks to the Virgin Mary for his survival.

"This "beautiful village", as designated by the French government, really is as gorgeous as they say. The village is perched on a mountain side so you get this spectacular view of the Provence countryside."
