Apt is a small Provençal town in Vaucluse, between the hills and hilltop villages of the Luberon. Its old town, shopping streets and squares give it a lively local atmosphere throughout the year. The Saturday market is a popular regional event, with local produce, fruit and specialities. Apt suits travellers who like to combine heritage, strolls through narrow streets and trips to the countryside.

The Musée d’Apt and Sainte-Anne Cathedral are in the centre, as is the Porte de Saignon, a remnant of the old fortifications. The bus station is 300 m from the guest house. By car, Roussillon, with its ochre façades and trails through former quarries, is 9 km away; Gordes, a hilltop village with stone houses, is 18 km away. Sénanque Abbey, known for its Cistercian architecture and lavender fields, is 25 km away. Marseille Provence Airport is listed as 49 km away.

Spring and autumn are pleasant times to explore the villages and paths of the Luberon in milder temperatures. Summer days are hot: set out early to visit the ochre quarries or go hiking, then spend the hottest hours exploring Apt. Lavender usually blooms in late June and July, while markets and farms offer seasonal produce. A day can combine a morning market, a visit to the historic centre and an outing to the garrigue landscapes.
