Moustey: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Culture and History

Moustey is home to the Church of Saint Martin, a 12th-century building in the Flamboyant Gothic style. It features a carved wooden door dating from the 17th century.

The Church of Notre-Dame has a picturesque bell gable and serves as an exhibition venue for local artists and craftspeople in summer. Its wall paintings were discovered in the choir in 1985 and restored in 1989. Among other subjects, they depict scenes from Genesis, the Fall of Man, and the expulsion of Adam and Eve from Paradise. In front of this church, the Borne des 1000 indicates that there are still 1,000 kilometres to travel on the way to Santiago de Compostela.

In Biganon stands the Church of Saint Peter in Chains, a Romanesque church dating from the late 11th century. It contains 14th-century wall paintings. The Sainte-Ruffine Fountain, together with the Church of Saint Peter in Chains in Biganon, is listed as a historic monument.

Another cultural facet is the glasswork of David Vieira: his workshop produces unique, signed one-of-a-kind pieces.

Moustey lies on the Via Turonensis pilgrimage route, which leads to Santiago de Compostela.

Anyone choosing Moustey as a travel destination and wishing to rent a holiday apartment can plan their accommodation around this location.
