L’Atelier des Cendres

Along the path from the carpark to the village you will pass a small pottery studio and shop, Les Cendres (The Ashes) where Denis Bouniard creates ceramic vessels and his wife, Olivia Tregaut, sculpts ceramic animals. Their creations are varied and lovely. I came away with a charming pitcher glazed pale periwinkle.

Address: 24, Rue Sainte-Cécile

Market day is Saturday. It is a rather large, sprawling market (the largest in the Luberon) and spread among several streets. There is sometimes live music and several shops to poke. Wander through town to soak up Apt’s lively atmosphere.
