Provence - Moustiers-Ste-Marie and Faience Workshop

Moustiers-Ste-Marie is a lovely village, in a gorgeous setting. It's there for tourists, though, so don't expect a "natural" Provencal village. But its still wonderful anyway.

The main theme of Moustiers is to sell the, admittedly beautiful, "faïence" ceramics and the village is packed full of Faïenceries shops.
The village sits astride a rushing mountain stream that divides the two halves with a narrow rocky canyon. The view of this mini-gorge, with small waterfalls down inside and medieval houses above, is beautiful. The sound of the river, and the running fountains all over the village, give Moustiers the feeling of an Alpine village. The village has narrow medieval streets and vaulted passages, and becomes more "natural" when you get up above the ceramics shops.
I recommend during your visit ( its best to stay a few nights here) is to take a private 2 hour ceramic workshop where you will create your own faience plate. It’s great fun!
