Saint Saturnin Les Apt

Pop.: 2,393 . Area: 2,500 ha . Alt.: 420 m.

Department of the Vaucluse


10 km north of Apt, via the N100 then the 943.

Saint Saturnin les Apt is a large "village" in the Luberon built on a rock, over which two 17th century windmills and the ruins of a medieval château keep watch.

Despite the new housing developments which surround this market town, Saint Saturnin is a village brimming with history. Take your time walking through the central streets and you will discover beautiful old houses, adorned with sculptured porches and intricately decorated doors and window frames.

In the area of the ramparts you will see three walled enclosures built in the 13th, 14th, and 15th century. Only the remains of the Ayguier gate exist today.

All around the village, the magnificent countryside will tempt you to go for long walks... do not forget that you are in the Parc Naturel Régional du Luberon!
