    Tips

    You go through the Porte de Riou, a remnant of the fortifications of the old Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, and after a few meters you come to the Cascade de Riou. Even if the Riou does not have any water at the moment, you can easily guess how it falls at other times, its path is shown on smooth rock and hollowed stone, under a brick bridge down to the village.

    From here you can soon return to the village on one of the paths, other paths lead further up to hikes with spectacular views of the mountains, the opening landscape and Lac Ste Croix.

      Coming from the village you can see a stone bridge over a dry stream behind the Porte de Riou.
