Motorhome area of Apt, Pays du Luberon (Vaucluse)

Discover the heart of Provence by staying in the pretty and lively town of Apt, capital of Luberon. Its typical Provençal atmosphere is sure to charm you. Set back from the town center (3 km), the stopover area is located in the heart of the Pays d’Apt Luberon amusement park. The lake offers you a swimming spot in a natural environment. Two swimming pools have been set up for both children and adults, and access is free. Under the sun of Provence, other activities allow you to cool off: a playground with water jets, a water sports center, inflatable structures on water… There are also picnic tables and restaurants. Everything is designed to make your stay a moment of pleasure and rest. The Saturday morning market is THE place to be. Amongst the colourful stalls run by passionate producers, find an exceptional range of local products: honey, seasonal fruits and vegetables, goat’s cheese, thyme, laurel, lavender… enjoy the scents of Provence! Stroll through the small streets of the old town of Apt, its squares and pretty fountains, its private mansions and the Saint-Anne cathedral. This Romanesque and Gothic religious building, which dominates Apt, is the city’s most remarkable historical monument. To discover the three industries that have made Apt (and more widely Provence) famous, go to the museum of Apt. Based in the former Marliagues candied fruit factory, the museum reveals the secret of its main resources: clay (for faïence and architectural ceramics), ochre and the many orchards of the Pays d’Apt (for the manufacture of candied fruits). It earned Apt the title of world capital of candied fruit. The city is even classified as a «Remarkable site of Taste »! Finally, there are many possibilities for hiking to enjoy the endless landscapes of the Luberon, with the Vaucluse Mountains as a backdrop. The Sentier des Ocres (less than 20 km from the campsite) plunges you into the sumptuous scenery of the old quarries.
