Apt

Apt retains that Provençal charm of ancient towns deeply linked to the land and their agricultural vocation.

If you come here on a Saturday morning, you absolutely cannot miss the market, an exaltation of the colours and scents of Provence, with stalls full of cherries, bunches of grapes, bunches of lavender, candied fruit and candies!

Must-sees

• The old town with its ancient palaces, ramparts and old quarter.
• The Sainte-Anne cathedral where the saint’s relics are kept and with a particularly impressive crypt.
• Confiserie Kerry Aptunion: the largest candy factory in the world where as many as 30 tonnes of cherries are processed every day.

Things to do and try

• Saturday market is a chance to admire and buy candied fruit. A true paradise especially for the little ones!
• A tour of the many confiserie, small shops selling candied fruit and sweet delicacies in the strangest shapes.
