Pertuis
Bargain antiques, Château Val Joanis and a large weekly market
By far the largest village in the southern Luberon, Pertuis’s charms are hidden ones that only those who take the time to explore will find.
For antiques on par with Isle-sur-la-Sorgue but at a quarter of the price, stop at ABC Depot Vente and take home a marble-topped set of drawers (that elsewhere would have gone for thousands) for less than half the price.
