One of the prettiest villages in France
S
ince 1981 Moustiers Sainte-Marie has been listed
as one of the prettiest villages in France. The
church, the village walls, the chapels, the aqueduct, the fountains, alliances of water and stone, the
pastel colours of the tiles and the travertine together
create a homogenous and living architectural whole.
The gentle quality of life of the place naturally incites to
respect, value, discover and protect it. Working the land
is the link between History and the village’s future.
capacity of the municipality is important. Besides 750
camping spaces and a holiday camp, 130 hotel rooms in
the village centre or the outskirts, some twenty gîtes and
bed and breakfast rooms and more than 50 apartments,
it is easy to discover the local attractions beyond a quick
passage. The various services will satisfy all tastes and
wallets.
As for shopping, artists’ and crafts’ stalls rub shoulders
with local services.
autHentic & LivinG
Today, Moustiers has
approximately
700
residents. The core of its economy is focused on tourism
and the ceramics tradition. The authentic & lively welcome
Some twenty restaurants will keep gourmets, lovers of
good food and refined gastronomy, brasserie food or
local cuisine happy.

Its history
T
he site of Moustiers has been inhabited since
ancient times, as witnessed by traces of human
presence uncovered in the region going back 30
000 years. But it is in the Vth century that the occupancy
of the site of the current village truly starts: the monks
of the Lérins abbey move in the travertine caves and
create a monastery in the Vth century. This monasterial
presence gave its name to Moustiers (Monasterio in the
Middle Ages).
a pLace
of piLGrimaGe
The chapel of Notre Dame
de Beauvoir, built on the
same spot as a Marial
temple already present in 470, indicates the persistent
sacred character of the village. It became an important
pilgrimage site over the centuries.
deveLopment in tune
witH tHe Leaps of History
The Moore invasions of the Xth and XIth centuries
caused the residents of the region to hide in the caves
for protection. But it is in the XIIth and XIIIth centuries
that fortifications and houses are erected, while mills
are built on the Adou stream.
With the development of industries activated by
hydraulic energy in the XVIth century (tanning, paper
mills etc.) the village truly starts to bloom. But in the
early XVIIth century severe weather destroys the infrastructures and the village again loses a large part of its
population.

the daWN mass
On 8 September, day of the
Nativity of the Virgin, the
Dawn Mass (5 am) unites
the residents of Moustiers
and the surrounding villages,
who walk up the hill to the
sanctuary in procession, preceded by the Diane (Moustiers musical group). At the
return, a traditional local
breakfast is served on the
church square from 6 am.
tHe LeGend
of tHe star
When discovered at a turn of the
road, Moustiers evokes the landscape of a Provencal nativity scene:
confined between two rock ledges, a star dominates the
village from a great height… According to the legend
of Frédéric Mistral, the star is an ex-voto dedicated to
the Virgin Mary, installed on the wishes of the knight
Blacas, a crusader who had been imprisoned by the
Sarrasins, and who had vowed that if he returned to his
village he would suspend a star and its chain there.
Other versions talk about love stories, the Three Kings
or Chivalry... Though many versions exist about the
origin of the star none have been verified to date. The
mystery remains complete on the origin and meaning
of the star above Moustiers…
The size of the star, which originally had five points has
changed over time from 30 cm to 1.80. Today, the chain
is 135 m long, weighs 150 kg and the star covered in
gold leaf measures 1.25 m.

Listed as a historic monument in 1913, the church
proudly carries its old Lombard bell tower, one of the
most beautiful in Provence.
Dating from the XIIth century, it was one of the three
moving bell towers in Europe. The Romanesque nave
of the same era is divided in five spans with corbelled
vaults.
Pierre de Pratis, commendatory prior, ordered the
church to be enlarged in 1536 ; the axis of the nave was
not respected.

After climbing

of a stone stairway on the flank of the hill, you reach
the chapel that overlooks the village. The small chapel
was built in the late XIIth century on the vestiges of a
Marial temple erected in the Vth century. A successful
combination of the Romanesque and Gothic periods, it
originally comprised two spans with corbelled vaults,
corresponding with a part of the current nave, the two
other spans and the Gothic choir were added in 1536,
date engraved on the triumphant arch.
The Chapel Notre-Dame de Beauvoir was listed as a
historic monument in 1921.

History
The art of ceramics has considerably
evolved in Moustiers since the Middle
Ages. At the time, only objects in varnished clay were
produced, in the natural colours of green and brown.
The art flourished thanks to Pierre Clérissy, who was
initiated in the secret of white enamel (tinned ceramics)
by an Italian monk visiting the Monastery of the Communauté de Lérins in 1668. As Louis XIV had ordered all
the gold and silver tableware to be melted to restore
the royal treasure, Moustiers ceramics acquired high
notoriety at the European courts. The fashion of china
and English ceramics put a stop to two centuries of
uninterrupted activity. In 1927, Marcel Provence heats
up an oven in the village with the purpose of restoring
its image of a great ceramics centre worldwide. Today,
there are some twenty workshops and a museum that
perpetuate and renew this traditional craft for the greatest pleasure of the visitors.

museum
The Museum was created in 1929
by the Académie de Moustiers,
that grouped Marcel Provence and
other ceramics fanatics. The museum has five rooms
where more than four hundred items are exhibited,
ranging from the first Cobalt blue monochrome decors
of the XVIIth century to all types of contemporary multicoloured creations - whose gloss is due to the ‘petit feu’
discovered in 1760 by the Ferrat brothers. There is also
an assortment of items in clay (enamelled tiles, canalisations). A film on the history of Moustiers ceramics and the
various stages of production is shown on site.

Water Colour
The green colour of the Verdon is due
to the fluoride and the micro-algae it
contains: it is probably the origin of its
name , from the Latin viridum, «green
place». The turquoise colour of the lake
of Sainte-Croix, in turn, is due to its clayey
bottom.
The plateau of Valensole
The hills of the Haut Var
S
traddling the departments of the Var and the Alps
of Haute Provence, the Verdon Regional Natural
Park stretches over more than 180,000 hectares.
Created in 1997, distributed over 46 municipalities
(including Moustiers, at the centre of the park), it groups
seven great landscapes: the plateau of Valensole, lakes
and mountains of the Verdon, the lower gorges of the
Verdon, the lake of Sainte-Croix, the Artuby, the Verdon
gorges and the hills of the Haut Var. This diversity of
ecosystems gives the park a rich and varied patrimony:
vultures, bats, mountain goats, roebucks and endemic
flora. The typical land has contributed to the shaping of
landscapes and humans.
The lake of Sainte-Croix
the lower gorges
Lakes and mountain
The Artuby
The Verdon gorges
The missions of the park are to enable these natural and
human treasures to live in harmony and balance, while
preserving them and making them known to the general
public. The Park assists the institutional partners in land
planning projects, development, environmental education and valorisation of heritages. The maison du Parc,
located in the municipality of Moustiers, is an exceptional
source of information on the activities and treasures of
the Verdon.
From Moustiers, you can easily discover the picturesque landscapes of the plateau de Valensole, besides
the lake of Sainte-Croix and the Verdon gorges, but also
the Préalpes or the plains and hills between Canjuers
and l’Artuby.

oustiers Sainte-Marie is located at the
entrance of the gorges du Verdon, one of the
deepest canyons in Europe. That geographical
location is a major tourist attraction for the village. A
magnificent and wild landscape characterised by its
preserved nature and green waters.
This spectacular canyon
results from the limestone
erosion of the plateaus of
Haute Provence by the Verdon river that springs near
the col d’Allos, in the massif of the Trois Évêchés. The
50 km long canyons stretches from Castellane to the
lake of Sainte-Croix, and reaches 700 metres in depth
in places.

some History
The project of flooding the
Salles valley by the creation
of a lake on the Verdon river dates back to Georges
Clémenceau, in 1908. But it was only implemented
by Électricité De France in 1968. Initially the lake was
supposed to engulf the villages of Salles sur Verdon,
Bauduen and to make Sainte- Croix du Verdon inhabitable. The artificial lake was finally created in 1973,
following the construction of the Sainte-Croix dam. The
villages of Sainte-Croix and Bauduen were ultimately
saved and Les Salles rebuilt sheltered from the water.
at present
The third largest lake of France
stretches over a surface of 2 200
hectares (10 km long and 2 km wide). The dam, built at
the entrance of the gorges, near Baudinard, holds back
760 million cubic metres of water and generates more
than 150 million kWh per year. Supplying power to the
adjacent cities. It also is a major tourist attraction and
a perfect space for swimming, boating (only electric or
sailing boats), windsurfing, catamaran, pedalo or canoe
and kayak.

lucien mérel
Erected at 590 m altitude, the village of
Valensole has given its name to the whole plateau. Nicknamed « the region’s granary », the 800 km2 plateau
is mainly dedicated to the cultivation of lavender and
grain.
It changes in look with the seasons; the snowy peaks
and the blooming almond trees of March are replaced
in July with the changing purple of lavender and the
golden wheat. In November, the ochre of the furrowed
land contrasts with the pure blue winter skies.
Lavender
Lavender, just like its aromatic
cousins savory, thyme and rosemary,
belongs to the mint family (labiatae). They are a bee
favourite (melliferous plants) as the delicious honey they
produce demonstrates. It comes in different varieties
such as Lavandula angustifolia (true lavender) providing
better quality essential oil and Lavandula intermedia, or
lavandin, the most commonly grown for its productivity.
use of laveNder
Lavender is used in the production of Marseille soap ; the
bees transform it into honey. It
is also distilled for its scent or
its therapeutic properties.
