Moustiers Sainte Marie Voyage Tips and guide

You can check the original Wikivoyage article Here

    Moustiers-Ste-Marie is a village in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence in southern France. It was once a major pottery center and now serves as a gateway to the Gorges du Verdon, sometimes called the "European Grand Canyon".

    Get in

    [edit]

    There are regular buses from Nice, Manosque and Aix-en-Provence in the high season (summer months). Transportation is much less regular in the off season, with weekly or bi-weekly buses. One useful option is to hitchhike from the train station in Manosque.

    Get around

    [edit]

    You can explore Moustiers and surroundings comfortably on foot, but it is good to have a car if you want to explore the nearby Gorges du Verdon. Hitchhiking is generally safe in this area, but be prepared to spend a long time waiting for a ride during the off season, when there is little traffic.

    See

    [edit]

    The town is set in a picturesque area between two limestone crags. The Gorges du Verdon are some 10 km away and offer stunning sights. An old Roman road runs through Moustiers and is a good choice for hikers.

    Do

    [edit]

    Moustiers is a popular site for parasailing, and you can go boating on the nearby lake.

    Buy

    [edit]

    The town is full of faïence shops (a kind of painted pottery). This is also a good place to buy local specialties like honey, nougat, olive oil, and red wine.
