It is well worth the walk up to the chapel to see the panoramic view down on Moustiers-Sainte-Marie.

Local Notre Dame church. Peaceful and tranquility. A good hike up and down. Totals 266 steps. Slippery here and there. Beautiful views of the town.

Charming church in the mountains. Very gorgeous view and great for viewing sunsets. Only reachable by a slippery trail by foot

This is the chapel at the top of the village. After looking around the village, you go up the course at the end, but there is no shade on the way. The stars get closer and closer, and you can see them directly below the chapel. The path is more slippery than you think. Be careful when you come down. The chapel is smaller than you think and there is no toilet. Go to the toilet beforehand.?

House of Blackheads

House of the Blackheads (Melngalvju nams) is a building situated in the old town of Riga. The original building was erected during the first third of the 14th century for the Brotherhood of Blackheads, a guild for unmarried German merchants in Riga. Major works were done in the years 1580 and 1886, adding most of the ornaments.

The structure was bombed to a ruin by the Germans June 28, 1941 and the remains demolished by the Soviets in 1948. The current reconstruction was erected from 1995 to 1999. Today the House of Blackheads serves as a museum and sometimes concert hall.
