Visit la Maison du Fruit Confit
In the Vaucluse, ideally situated between Gordes, Roussillon and Lourmarin, La Maison du Fruit Confit is located at the entrance to the town of Apt.

The shop, situated next to our production workshops, is a gourmet showcase of Provençal craftsmanship. Here, you can sample before you buy! In a rich and colourful atmosphere, the factory shop offers a wide range of candied fruits and confectionery made in Provence.

Our expertise
FROM ORCHARD TO CANDIED FRUIT
La Maison du Fruit Confit is situated in the heart of the Luberon Regional Nature Park in Apt. Its proximity to the orchards means it can offer you fruit sourced directly from Provence, such as Luberon bigarreau cherries, Provençal melons and watermelons, and rosé apricots from Provence. For supply reasons, there are a few exceptions, such as oranges, lemons, pears and figs, which come from Italy or Spain, as well as exotic fruits (kiwi, pineapple, ginger), which are sourced from all over the world.
A symbol of living heritage
The artisanal expertise and excellence of La Maison du Fruit Confit were recognised in 2017 and reaffirmed in 2023 with the award of the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (EPV) label, a mark of quality and a guarantee of a unique cultural heritage.
