Lagarde d'Apt

Population : 27

Department of the Vaucluse


9 km south of St Christol

Lagarde d'Apt is a tiny isolated village in the north of the
Luberon region, not far from the "plateau d'Albion". You will soon discover the Signal Saint Pierre at 1256 metres, the highest point of the "Monts de Vaucluse" and the surrounding fields of lavander.
You will be surprised on arriving at Lagarde d'Apt to find that this is not a village in the classic sense - Lagarde d'Apt is uniquely a church, a restaurant and two lavander distilleries. There's no village square bordered by ancient houses, no labyrinth of winding streets, or neighbours discussing the weather... there's only 33 inhabitants !
You will discover some isolated properties and farms, together with a hiking trail through 80 hectares of lavander... you will also come across the distillery. Lagarde d'Apt is surrounded by magnificent and wild countryside... it's sublime!
