Local specialties: Apt is the world's capital of candied fruits. You'll be able to find candied fruits in many shops in the city, for example at M. Ceccon's, "Confiserie Le Coulon" near place de la Bouquerie, or you may visit the Aptunion candied fruit manufacture, and its direct sales shop Les Fleurons d'Apt .
Other main regional specialties are goat cheese, wine, olive oil and truffle.
Another local specialty is the "navette" , which is a brioche in the form of a small boat , frangranced with candied orange. Sadly my favorite baker (P.Brest ) retired at the end of last year without being replaced.
And of course, lavender is everywhere... you can buy back small bags filled with lavander , for instance !
In Castellet , there is still an artisanal distillery , which is in activity from mid-July to the end of the lavander harvest.
