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! |
