moustiers sainte marie - Moustiers-Sainte-Marie

Moustiers is without question a stunning place, set between and below two pinnacled cliffs, with a chapel high above, and and a waterfall in the centre. It is also very well located as a base for exploring the local Gorges du Verdon, and Lake Ste Croix.
We spent just two nights here and would have liked to have spent a few more (although not in the horrible hotel La Relais). As there is a lot to see and do in the local area.
A stroll around the village will take a good couple of hours, and the best times are without doubt early morning and evening, as the place gets hot and busy with day trippers.

a nice place to while away an evening
