Chateau St Saturnin Les Apt
Medieval castle ruins & 17th century windmills
Built on a rocky bluff at 400 metres above sea level is the remains of a Medieval fortress which offers great views of the surrounding Vaucluse and Alpilles mountains.
Starting in the village, you take a short walk up to cobbled streets to the ruins. The old walls and windows take you back in time to 1056 when this place was originally inhabited.
A dam holding water for supplying the village below is still visible and holds a large volume of water to this day.
Fountains and wash areas can be found around the site and if you're in the area on a Tuesday morning you can visit the market where local producers bring their fruits, flowers and vegetables to sell.
