How
to get there.
By
car ~ heading south on the Autoroute du Soleil (A7) from
Paris, take the junction for the D22 Avignon South (sign posted
Apt ~ Bonnieux) and then the N100 to Apt. Eventually you will see
signs for Apts centre follow these past the train station which
should be on your left and several large supermarkets including
the infamous wine pumping station where you can fill up on premium
local wine by the litre at a stupidly low price. Keep on this road
until you reach a bridge and cross-roads, if you were heading
to the crags you'd carry straight on and then first right after
about 800 metres but you need to take the left turn to find the
campsite. The river should be running parallel with the road on
your left, just after the petrol station (VW garage) take the next
left turn. Carry on this road past the infant school with a small
play climbing wall and then after passing under a bridge take the
next possible right turn behind the school and finally into the
campsite. You can get to Buoux on the D113 which leads direct from
Apt to the small village of Buoux and then on to the Fort (see parking
map attached).
The
campsite at Bonnieux is located just outside the village heading
away from Apt. From the N100 follow the signs for Bonnieux if my
memory serves me right the campsite is well sign posted as you approach
the village if no the locals are friendly so just ask at the Bar
Caesar in the centre. If your approaching from the south either
on the A9 or A8, take the A51 from Aux-en-Provence heading towards
Pertuis then follow the signs for Cadenet and once there continue
on the D943 through Lourmarin and then either head direct to Bonnieux
or Buoux then Apt.
By
plane ~ there are several airports within driving distance
of Buoux the closest is Marseille then Nice and finally Lyon you
will have to check with your local travel agents which you can fly
to. Expect to pay between 11000~17000 francs per week for a basic
hire car out of season.
Others ~ there are excellent train and coach services
throughout France for more detailed information on timetables and
