Ville de Pertuis

Pertuis is a city of more than 20,000 inhabitants. Its name comes from the Latin Pertus, meaning the gap, the passage, which gave it a major role in the economic development of its region. The Durance river has been the engine of an agricultural development favoring a plain landscape rich in crops that have made the reputation of Pertuis through products such as asparagus and potatoes.

Discover Pertuis, a dynamic city, concerned about the quality of its environment, a few kilometers from Aix en Provence, in the heart of two privileged entities : the Luberon Regional Natural Park and the mythical Sainte Victoire mountain

Many treasures are hidden in the folds of its old center. They are revealed to those who take the time to stroll through its old streets, to follow its invisible paths which trace for us, today's generations, the know-how and the skills of our elders.

The visit of the old town will enchant you, small flowered streets, old houses restored with taste. There is a soft Provencal atmosphere sheltered from the mistral wind where the play of light and shadow embellish the rich cultural and historical heritage that the city has preserved.

The weekly appointments that have taste: Friday morning, the Provencal market in the city center, Wednesday and Saturday morning, the farmers' market on the Garcin square.
