Saint Saturnin-Lès-Apt
St. Saturnin-Lès-Apt is one of the little hidden
gems that make Provence so special. The pace of
life here is unhurried, as befits a village with close
to 1,000 years of history. And best of all, it's
unspoiled - one of the reasons we are so happy to
call it home.
Spend a few hours strolling around - sample the
delights at our wonderful bakery - sit at one of the
three cafés and do some people-watching -
perhaps a game of pétanque - and definitely not to
be missed, a walk up to the castle ruins above the
village for some of the best views to be found
anywhere in the Luberon.
We are lucky to have a number of excellent
restaurants, a well-stocked grocery store, a
butcher - in short, all life's essentials. And the
market on Tuesday morning is well worth a visit -
small and quaint - a different experience compared
to the huge and boisterous markets in Apt or
Isle-sur-la-Sorgue.
Outdoor enthusiasts will be spoiled by the many
miles of hiking and biking trails in the surrounding
hills. Or just take a walk along the back-country
roads through vineyards and orchards and fields of
lavender.
Come enjoy St. Saturnin-Lès-Apt - an authentic,
peaceful and very beautiful bit of Provence.
