Taxi Marseille — Apt
The capital of the Luberon and lavender
A taxi between Marseille and Apt costs between €195 and €235 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 100 kilometres and a journey time of from 75 to 95 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes A51 then D900, with ~€6 in tolls (A51 section). A van for up to seven passengers starts at €305. That price includes luggage, tolls and the driver's approach, and it does not move if traffic builds up: that is the difference with a metered ride, where every minute of waiting is charged and the applicable rate depends on the hour. On an unbooked ride, the amount follows the scale of the prefectoral order applying where the passenger is picked up, higher from seven in the evening to ten in the morning as well as on Sundays and public holidays. The driver tracks the flight or train number given at booking and shifts the pick-up at no extra cost if it is delayed, and cancelling remains free up to six hours before departure.

Apt is the capital of the Luberon and the sub-prefecture of Vaucluse. This characterful Provençal town is world-famous for its candied fruits (a tradition since the 14th century), its lavender (the Luberon is the world's leading producer) and its Saturday morning market, considered one of Provence's finest and most authentic. Apt is also an ideal base for exploring the Luberon's perched villages: Gordes, Roussillon (and its Ochre Path), Bonnieux, Ménerbes and Lacoste (the Marquis de Sade's château). The Luberon Regional Natural Park offers hikes through landscapes of garrigue, holm oaks and ochre cliffs.
Route
Route Marseille → Apt
From Marseille, take the A51 towards Aix-en-Provence then the D900 (former N100) heading east through Pertuis and the southern Luberon foothills. After Pertuis, the road gradually climbs into the southern Luberon hills. You arrive in Apt via the Calavon valley. Alternative: take the A7 north then exit at Cavaillon and cross the Luberon via the D900 (shorter but same duration). The scenery is typically Provençal: vineyards, cherry trees, lavender fields (in season) and perched villages visible in the distance.
