A picturesque village nestled against a towering limestone cliff in France's Provence region. The village, known as Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, features charming pastel-colored buildings with terra-cotta tiled roofs lining the narrow, winding streets. An old stone bridge spans a small river flowing through the heart of the village, with lush green trees providing shade and adding to the idyllic scenery. In the background, the imposing rocky cliff face looms over the village, creating a striking contrast with the delicate architecture. The image captures the quintessential beauty and charm of a traditional Provencal village, with its rustic charm and natural surroundings.

Moustiers-Sainte-Marie: A Picturesque Provencal Village

Thinking back to my France road trip last summer! Moustiers-Sainte-Marie is often touted as one of France's most beautiful villages, and it's easy to see why. I'm blown away by the beauty of the village and its outdoor eateries, Provencal speciality shops and narrow winding roads showcasing pastel buildings with tiled roofs. This commune in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department dates back 30,000 years, though the village in its current state dates back to the 5th century when the Lérins abbey monks moved into the local caves and built a monastery 😍 . . What is your favorite France village?
