Follow the trail back through history: a discovery booklet, on sale at the Tourist Office, will help you discover the secrets of this village.

The trail starts on a track that climbs northwards at the end of the RD 123, and at the beginning, on your right, there’s a field with sheep and their guardians: patous. The patous can be quite vehement, especially if you have a dog. Don’t panic, they’re locked in and can’t get through. However, keep your dog away from the electric fence…

When you reach the top of the hill, you’ll see the remains of Châteauneuf-lès-Moustiers on your right, and a track leading downhill on your left. After visiting the village, if you wish, you can extend your walk by taking this track.
This is the old Roman road, and after a short kilometer’s walk, you’ll discover a chapel on your left, in a cavity in the cliff. After a short, steep and vertiginous climb (5 minutes), you’ll arrive at the cave chapel of Notre-Dame de la Baume…
