Apt
The town of Apt is located on the Coulon River at the eastern end of the Luberon Natural Parc and the many perched villages that comprise the region (north of Aix-en-Provence and east of Avignon) - it is in a fine location with Luvberon to one side and the Vaucluse hills to the other.
We had passed by Apt a couple of times before actually stopping to explore. It is not very impressive from the main road, with rather a lot of traffic and overdevelopment, and you do need to park and explore the streets of the old town to 'discover' Apt. And it is worth discovering!
There are lots of old streets and houses with interesting features, and open squares with quiet fountains to discover. You will notice also the two towers with their 'traditional Luberon' ironwork campaniles.
The most important monument in the town is the Church of Saint Anne. Once the town cathedral, and built over the course of several centuries (11th to 17th).
The main market is held on Saturday, and Apt also has a popular farmer's market on a Tuesday with an impressive range of produce available. The most important and impressive market in the region, it does mean that Saturday can also get very busy during the summer...but is still the best time to visit!
