Moustiers became famous because of the gilded star that hangs above the Rioul gorge. The star hangs directly above the little church “Notre Dame de Beauvoir”. A sturdy chain is suspended between the two enormous, steep rocks on either side of the gorge, with the star in the middle of the chain. It is still unknown who hung the golden star there and for what reason. There are two legends that are told in Moustiers. The first is the story of Knight Blacas who was captured by the Arabs during one of the crusades to the Holy Land. He vowed that if he saw his village of Moustiers again, he would build a monument to the Virgin Mary. The second legend is that two lovers from enemy families committed suicide together because of their love and that this star was hung in memory of this.

The viewpoint is about a 15-minute walk above the campsite (depending on the elevation of the campsite you start at). The path there is relatively rocky, so you should wear sturdy shoes. You can see the lake, the bridge, and the rocks, but not into the gorge.
