Notre-Dame de Beauvoir Chapel

When we arrive in Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, we can only be overwhelmed by its chapel, visible between the two cliffs, dominating the village. Built between the XIIth and the XVIth century, it is classified as a historical monument in 1921. It is partly Romanesque and partly Gothic. The chapel is well known for its "suscitations". In the 17th century, stillborn babies were brought back to life during their baptism, thus gaining heaven.
