Moustiers-Sainte-Marie

The village (mostly just named Moustiers) on the entrance of the "Gorges de Verdon", clings onto high cliffs. It even has a waterfall in the middle. No wonder, that it is one of the "Plus Beaux Villages de France". The parish church has this exceptional bell tower seen here. The tower was constructed within the 12th century in "lombardic style". But the best known landmark of Moustiers is not seen here: the star! Since centuries a long chain with a golden star connects both cliffs - and a phantastic story is connected to that star. When we visited Moustiers, the star was "in repair". Some weeks earlier "myshy" took a nice photo of the chain and the star - and there is the full story as well:
