Saint Saturnin Les
Apt
Pop.: 2,393 . Area: 2,500 ha . Alt.: 420 m. |
Saint Saturnin les Apt is a large "village" in the Luberon built
on a rock, over which two 17th century windmills and the ruins of a medieval
château keep watch.
Despite the new housing developments which surround this market town,
Saint Saturnin is a village brimming with history. Take your time walking
through the central streets and you will discover beautiful old houses,
adorned with sculptured porches and intricately decorated doors and window
frames. In the area of the ramparts you will see three walled enclosures built in the 13th, 14th, and 15th century. Only the remains of the Ayguier gate exist today.
All around the village, the magnificent countryside will tempt you to go for long walks... do not forget that you are in the Parc Naturel Régional du Luberon! |
