As you go towards the Col de Jau, a couple of kilometres after the spa station of Molitg les Bains is Mosset, a medieval village classified as one of France’s Most Beautiful Villages. In the past Mosset was situated below the actual village between the Corbiac monastery ( a 13th century romanesque church) and the hamlet of Brèzes, family birthplace of the Overlord of Mosset. Later the population gathered around the summit of a rocky outcrop at 710m in altitude around the castle. You can visit the church of St Julien and its bell tower, the ramparts, and the towers and walkways of the old castle, which still exist today. Other ‘musts’ are the Capelleta, a restored old chapel, the narrow streets, the gateways, and the spring-water fountains. You will also discover in the interactive and ludic museum of La Tour des Parfums, the aromas and fragrances of the Castellane valley. In winter you can ski in “the smallest ski resort in the world”, at the Col de Jau, just above the village. Seduced by the vitality of the village, the warm welcome of the Mossétans the richness of the culture and heritage and the presence of many artists, you would certainly wish to spend some time here: there are several gites, B+B’s or rental accomodation awaiting you ......... but please book in advance.
