The village of Moustiers Sainte Marie

Since 1981,
Moustiers-Sainte-Marie
has been classified as one of France’s Most Beautiful Villages. It’s located in the Parc Naturel Régional du Verdon and the Haute-Provence Geopark, a UNESCO-listed nature reserve.

Church, ramparts, chapels, aqueduct, fountains, alliances of water and stone, pastel shades of tile and tufa, all combine to create a homogenous, lively architectural ensemble. The gentle way of life that emanates from it naturally encourages us to respect and value this place, to discover and protect it. The work of the land, perpetuated for centuries, is the link between the village’s history and its future.
