Apt is a town in Vaucluse, in the Luberon, where old lanes and squares make up a lively, compact centre. Its Saturday Provençal market draws locals and visitors alike to browse regional produce. The town suits those looking to combine heritage, markets and outings in the landscapes of the Luberon, while staying in a town with shops and services.

Sainte-Anne Cathedral is 320 m away and the Museum of History and Archaeology is 300 m away. Square de la Révolution offers a place for a stroll, and Porte de Saignon is 540 m away. The bus station is 700 m away. For a drive, the hilltop village of Saignon is 3.3 km away; its lanes and views across the valley make it an interesting stop. Further afield, Fort de Buoux bears witness to the history and terrain of the massif.

Spring and autumn are pleasant times to explore the villages and trails, with temperatures often milder than in the height of summer. In summer, lavender fields and markets add a distinctive touch to outings in the region; days can be hot, so it is best to plan walks for early morning or late afternoon. You could start the day at Apt market, continue with a visit to the old town, then drive to a Luberon village or a walking route. A car makes excursions beyond the town easier.
