History of the commercial group

The team of the Commercial and Craft Group of the Country of Apt

The C.C.G.C.A (commercial and craft group of the country of Apt) is an association law 1901, it was created in 1951.

This association became over the years an inescapable actor of the social, economic and commercial life of the city of Apt.

Federating hundred businesses and craftsmen of the city, recognizable thanks to the logo affixed on shop windows, its role is to promote the development of shopping and local arts and crafts. The Commercial Group carries its efforts as well in the domains of animation (trade weeks, shows, evening fixtures...), of service (free shuttle), of representation (fashion show) as of communication to value the image of the city.

Dynamic, professional, authentic and independent, the traditional shops maintain the quality and the originality, the variety of the commercial offer in Apt and contribute to the active life of the city by making you discover the wealth of the city.

Worried of being always closer to you and of answering your expectations, the storekeepers are for your listening in everyday life.

The actions of the commercial group

The life of a city center is revealing of the dynamism of a city. The envy of the storekeepers of Apt, to propose to consumers that we are a qualitative sales network of nearness, allows our city to be a real center of life.

This desire to propose us a city where everything is there to live well, to live better, allowed since the creation of the commercial group to concretize numerous actions.

Activities

The commercial group proposed us diverse and varied activities. Trade weeks and evening fixtures were organized, to be closer to our expectations. Shows took place in our city and achieved success there. In winter it is pleasant to drink a warm chocolate in the streets of the city on the occasion of the fair of the Saint Luce. And when the summer comes it is the huge anchoïade which attracts us in the street. Big tables are almost everywhere drawn up in the city for a small tasting of this Provençal speciality. A good opportunity to find old knowledge or still to go to meet tourists fascinated by our beautiful region.
The commercial group thanks to these organized activities all year long gives us simply the envy to come down in the streets of Apt, to stroll in a very alive city.

Representation

When we live far from the capital, it is possible to be "trend" ! The commercial group proposes us fashion shows. On this occasion the storekeepers of the city propose you the last novelties about clothes and accessories. Very festive official receptions are also organized for our pleasure and to liven up our city of Apt.

Services

The market of Apt made the reputation of the city, and every year hundred people converge on our small city. To facilitate the access to the market in summer period, and to allow the inhabitants of Apt to park more easily, the commercial group set up a service of free shuttle. You can henceforth park without block on the immense car park of "la Gare" and join the city center thanks to the shuttle.

The Commercial and Craft Group of the Country of Apt for some years set up gift tokens. These 8 and 15€ gift tokens to offer (or tobe offered) are proposed to private individuals, to companies and to associations. These checks are valid in more than 100 shops on the city of Apt and so allow you to make original presents.
