A village lying at the foot of a cliff that overlooks the Lac de Sainte Croix at the mouth of the Verdon canyon, Moustiers Sainte Marie is internationally renowned for the faïence – traditional pottery – produced in the area.

What to see and visit: faïence workshops; the church; the Romanesque twelfth-century Chapelle Notre-Dame de Beauvoir – with a golden star hanging from a 227-metre chain above it, this used to be one of the area’s Stations of the Cross.
