Sainte Marie

Pop. : 635

Department : Alpes de Haute Provence

On route D952 between Castellane (45km.) and Greoux les Bains (34km).
Located at the entrance to the Verdon Canyons , Moustiers Ste. Marie is a first rate place for earthenware tiles. Having 16 workshops and 30 sales outlets of earthenware tiles, Moustiers is the leading area for this craft in France and has a world wide reputation.

There is a little lake here of 6 ha. which is very well equipped, Because of its port, its boat club and its activity house, Moustiers is one of the most attractive spots of the Emerald Valley.

The site is exceptional and quite amazing. Moustiers is set in a semi circle of rocky cliff at 630m. altitude. Two peaks at either end of this cliff are linked together by an iron chain (227m. long) on which is hooked the star of one of the knights of the Crusades.

At each season Moustiers offers wonderful walks either in the heart af the village (the architecture is surprising) or in the outskirts ( waterfall of Rion, Notre Dame de Beauvoir, the grotto of St. Madeleine).
