Provence/Vaucluse departement /Luberon/ Saint Saturnin-lès-Apt
St. Saturnin is an authentic medieval which is nestled along the base of a long cliff, with the ruins of a castle. Behind the cliffs above the village is a gorge that has been dammed and was originally used for the local water supply. Most of streets run through the village parallel to the hills, lined by long strings of connected medieval houses, and many little cross streets pass through low vaulted passages beneath the houses. The cultural sight of the village is the church Eglise St-Etienne which was built about 1860. Inside the church is a 14th century wooden statue of the Virgin and child and a few fine paintings from the 16th century. |
