Wonderful little park. Rowing, swimming, jogging path, fitness trail. Places to eat and restrooms. A terrific place for a picnic and a stroll. Crystal clear water and beautiful views. Especially liked the big compass that points out distances and direction of towns and attractions in the valley. We had Christmas day picnic here, and it was a real treat

In a realm of serene delight, We found a lake, a tranquil sight. Its waters clear, like mirrored glass, Reflecting skies, as moments pass. Amidst the beauty, a gentle breeze, Whispers secrets through the trees. With each step along the shore, Nature's melody, we adore. A hidden gem, this sacred space, Where time stands still, in perfect grace. A haven for souls seeking peace, Where worries and troubles find release. Oh, this charming lake, so sweet, Where nature and beauty truly meet. A precious refuge, so serene, In this tranquil realm, we're keen.

Beautiful in its simplicity. And so much history! Started in Roman times, late 10th century? Obviously built upon over the centuries, but it still maintains its pre-medieval root. When we visited during Christmas, we were treated to a huge display of various nativity scenes. I'm not too sure where they all come from, but it seems to be individuals from all over the community. There is also a table setting of a "typical" meal from the time of Jesus, and each item's significance is displayed. The windows are magnificent, as is the cross from the 1500s, formerly displayed outside the church. We spent over an hour inside a building we nearly passed by. Highly recommend visiting this beautiful church

(Translated by Google) Moustiers-Sainte-Marie is home to the small church in this town of just 727 inhabitants, located in the department of Alpes de Haute Provence-Côte d'Azur. It is located in the Verdon Regional Natural Park. We got there along the lavender route, from Manosque and Valensole. In September the lavender has already been cut, but if you travel along it from June to August, the spectacle will be absolutely incredible, you won't believe your eyes due to the immense expanses of km and km of inebriating scents and colours. An endless expanse. (Original) Moustiers-Sainte-Marie ospita la piccola chiesina in questo paese di soli 727 abitanti, situato nel dipartimento delle Alpi dell'alta Provenza-Costa Azzurra.

In settembre la lavanda è già stata tagliata, ma se la percorrerete da giugno ad agosto, lo spettacolo sarà assolutamente incredibile, da non credere ai vostri occhi per le immense distese per km e km di inebrianti profumi e colori.

(Translated by Google) Magnificent place to visit absolutely for all literature enthusiasts. We enter directly into the world of Jean Giono. The scenography is very well thought out. We move from room to room through different themes from the author's life. The garden is superb, as is the building. Special mention for the small iron box which allows you to choose a quote from Giono. The shop at the end of the route is worth the detour. Many books are referenced, which allows you to complete your collection for Giono fans. Thank you again for your friendly welcome. Looking forward to coming back on my next visit to the region!

(Translated by Google) In Manosque, you have to open the doors of the Ruffin hotel, where the Jean Giono Center is located, not far from the Saunerie gate. It's a great discovery, an invitation to travel back in time, to meet the author. Jean Giono, a native of the country, was born in Manosque in 1895. The Jean Giono Center aims to raise awareness of the life and work of the author, through a permanent exhibition "Jean Giono, the paths of the work", extensively documented and illustrated. A very beautiful achievement, very interesting, in a magical place, very well appointed! A must in Manosque. Don't hesitate to also visit Le Paraïs, Jean Giono's home, which is an exceptional visit! (Original) A Manosque, il faut pousser les portes de l'hôtel Ruffin, où est installé le Centre Jean Giono, non loin de la porte Saunerie. C'est une belle découverte, une invitation à un voyage dans le temps, à la rencontre de l'auteur. Jean Giono, enfant du pays, est né a Manosque en 1895. Le Centre Jean Giono vise à faire connaître la vie et l'oeuvre de l'auteur, à travers une exposition permanente "Jean Giono, les chemins de l'oeuvre", largement documentée et illustrée. Une très belle réalisation, très intéressante, dans un lieu magique, très bien aménagé ! Un incontournable à Manosque. N'hésitez pas à visiter également Le Paraïs, la maison d'habitation de Jean Giono, qui constitue une visite exceptionnelle !

(Translated by Google) The visit to this “museum center” dedicated to the immense author Giono was a wonderful experience. Despite the understandable health measures, the welcome we received was remarkable. The kindness, smile and advice of the young girl present that day (August 10) particularly charmed us. As for the visit itself, the chronology and documentation offered are very well organized to discover this major author of the 20th century. In addition, posters and film extracts pleasantly complete the visit. The icing on the cake, an absolutely remarkable wildlife photo exhibition by Vincent Munier, fits completely into the world of Giono, a naturalist writer who enhanced his novels with very detailed descriptions of the landscapes and the animals evolving there. A very good idea. A great moment of poetry before visiting the city and following in Giono’s footsteps. (Original) Très belle expérience que la visite de ce “centre musée” consacré à l'immense auteur qu'était Giono. En dépit des mesures sanitaires compréhensibles, l'accueil qui nous a été réservé était remarquable. La gentillesse, le sourire et les conseils de la jeune fille présente ce jour-là (10 août) nous ont particulièrement charmés. Quant à la visite elle-même, la chronologie et la documentation proposées sont très bien organisées pour découvrir cet auteur majeur du XXe siècle. De plus affiches et extraits de films complètent agréablement la visite. Cerise sur le gâteau, une exposition photo animalière de Vincent Munier absolument remarquable, s'intègre totalement dans l'univers de Giono, écrivain naturaliste qui sublimait ses romans par des descriptions très fouillées des paysages et des animaux y évoluant. Une très bonne idée. Un grand moment de poésie avant de visiter la ville et mettre ses pas dans ceux de Giono.

(Translated by Google) Greatly appreciating Carzou's work, I finally had the opportunity to see the chapel which is definitely worth the detour. If you pass through Manosque it is a must especially since, even without being a fan, it is already an altogether original installation in a chapel. Not insignificant also it's free so why deprive yourself of it. Last but not least, the welcome is wonderful. Jérôme, if I'm not mistaken, is fascinating and explains the work extremely well. Thanks to him. (Original) Appréciant beaucoup le travail de Carzou, j'ai enfin eu l'occasion de voir la chapelle qui vaut vraiment le détour. Si vous passez par Manosque c'est un must d'autant que, même sans être fan, c'est déjà une installation somme toute originale dans une chapelle. Non négligeable aussi c'est gratuit donc pourquoi s'en priver. Enfin et surtout l'accueil est formidable. Jérôme, si je ne me trompe pas, est passionnant et explique formidablement bien l'œuvre. Merci à lui.

(Translated by Google) A moment of great admiration in front of a major work by this under-celebrated painter. A work to observe carefully. executed with mastery and talent, an evocation of historical apocalypses which necessarily generate great emotions in a pure heart... A moment of ecstasy in front of these immense painted canvases hugging the walls of the chapel. Healthy reflection and contemplation to understand what man has dared to do on the path of evil, and what he should, and will have to do to find the path of good and happiness... A must see!! (Original) Un moment de grande admiration devant une oeuvre majeure de ce peintre trop peu célébré. Une oeuvre à observer avec attention. exécutée avec maîtrise et talent, une évocation des apocalypses historiques qui génèrent nécessairement dans un coeur pur de grandes émotions... Un moment d'extase devant ces immenses toiles peintes épousant les murs de la chapelle. Réflexion et recueillement salutaires pour comprendre ce que l'homme a osé faire sur le chemin du mal, et ce qu'il devrait, et devra faire pour retrouver la voie du bien et le bonheur... À voir absolument !!

A good supermarket with most things you would need. One thing to note is they close 10 minutes before their official closing time. Other than that, it’s good.

just a usual, normal supermarket, no thrills. you'll find all the casual things you need here, though. and a gas for your car that's quite cheap. not bad !

Fruits and veggies with no taste, reminded me of the US. Expensive in relation to other supermarkets here in France. Toilets are dirty with no paper. Avoid if possible

(Translated by Google) We passed through Manosque heading towards Gap. We chose to stop at a bookstore in Manosque in memory of a person dear to us. On the advice of a young woman who loves her job, I bought 5 books that she recommended to me. I didn't know any of the authors. What a choice! I will return to Manosque to the Petit Pois bookstore. THANKS (Original) Nous sommes passés par Manosque en nous dirigeant vers Gap. Nous avons choisi de nous arrêter dans une librairie de Manosque en souvenir d’une personne qui nous est chère. J’ai acheté sur le conseil d’une jeune femme aimant son métier, 5 livres qu’elle m’a recommandés. Je ne connaissais aucun des auteurs. Quel choix! Je repasserai à Manosque à la librairie des petits pois. Merci

(Translated by Google) I sometimes go to this bookstore, not to pick up books because I don't read (apart from the newspaper L'Equipe) but I buy the annual Prix Goncourt to place on the mantelpiece, next to the only diploma obtained in my life, the Brevet sportif, and I love this atmosphere, all these books which give you the impression of being erudite and cultured, the colors, the smell of paper and ink, the kindness of the bookseller's hound, who doesn't bite me even when I wake him up, and above all... above all... the smiles of the boss and her assistant!! All the pleasures that the delivery man from Am doesn't give me... (No, no personal attacks!!). (Original) Je passe parfois dans cette librairie, non pour prendre des livres car je ne lis pas (à part le journal L'Equipe) mais j'achète le Prix Goncourt annuel pour poser sur la cheminée, à côté du seul diplôme obtenu dans ma vie, le Brevet sportif, et j'adore cette ambiance, tous ces livres qui vous donnent l'impression d'être érudit et cultivé, les couleurs, l'odeur du papier et de l'encre, la gentillesse du molosse de la libraire, qui ne me mord pas même quand je le réveille, et surtout ... surtout ... les sourires de la patronne et de son assistante !! Tous plaisirs que ne me procure pas le livreur d'Am ... (Non, pas d'attaques personnelles !!).

We arrived and were warmly welcomed and asked what wines we would like to try. The lady who helped us was very helpful and spoke very good English which was really helpful for us. We didn't feel any pressure to buy but ended up with 3 wonderful bottles of wine. Only our luggage allowance prevented us buying more!
