Gorges du Verdon
If you really want to be in the middle of Moustiers, then book in at this regal B&B inside one of the village's tall, 18th-century houses, built by a master potter. All four rooms (two standards, two suites) are decorated in grand style, with rugs, antiques and plenty of period detail – and there's a sweet secret garden too.
There's no parking, but the village's large car-parks are located nearby.
