Saint-Saturnin-lès-Apt is a Provençal village in the Luberon, in the Vaucluse. Its stone lanes, castle ruins and hilly landscapes make it a popular place to explore for travellers who enjoy combining heritage, walks and stops in village centres. Le Vieux Portail is in the Saint-Jacques district, away from the bustle of the centre. Nearby paths cross dry, fragrant landscapes where garrigue scrubland borders orchards and cultivated fields.

The village of Saint-Saturnin-lès-Apt is 1.4 km away, where you can visit the Church of Saint-Étienne and the castle ruins. The Ochre Trail, 11 km away, winds among cliffs and colourful former quarries. The Ochre Conservatory, 10 km away, presents the history of pigments and their production. The Village des Bories, 13 km away, is home to dry-stone buildings characteristic of the region. Gordes and its castle are also worth visiting in the Luberon. A car makes it easier to travel between these villages and natural sites; Marseille-Provence Airport is 55 km away.

In spring and autumn, the temperatures make it pleasant to spend the day hiking and visiting villages. In summer, it is best to plan walks for early morning or late afternoon, then enjoy the swimming pool during the hottest hours. Provençal markets and the roads of the Luberon are well suited to a day trip, with a stop in a hilltop village and a visit to the ochre landscapes. Hiking and fishing are also possible nearby.
