    Tips

    Mosset is a village perched on a rocky spur at more than 600 m which dominates the Castellane Valley. In this superb village, everything bears the mark of time. Because Mosset was for a long time a border marker between France and Catalonia, hence its fortifications. The road offers a spectacular view when arriving from Prades.
    The city experienced economic and demographic development thanks to its immense forests which provided the energy necessary for processing iron ore from the Canigou peak. The population thus rose to 1,350 inhabitants in the middle of the 19th century. There are now only a little more than 300 left. The ramparts, towers and curtain walls of the old castle which still remain, the Capelleta, an old restored chapel, the small streets, the “portals” and even the fountains of The spring water bears witness to this historical past. We will also note the St Julien church, with this tree perched at the top of its bell tower, which seems to stand guard over the surroundings of the village.
