Moustiers-Ste-Marie
The Notre-Dame de Beauvoir chapel dates back to the time of Charlemagne in the 8th century, and was restored in the 12th and 16th centuries and is built on the site of one from the 5th century. The steep walk up to the chapel follows a wide paved path passing through defensive doorways. The path, lined with 12 stations of the cross, has been used for pilgrimages to the chapel since the year 470. There are fantastic views of the village to the expanse of the Maire valley, the far hills and the Lac de Ste Croix.
