L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue is one of those places in Provence that one has to see. This "island city" lies at the foot of the Vaucluse plateau in the plains of Comtat Venaissin. Its colours are nature's green and the bright reflection of the water shining from the several canals running through its center.
The river Sorgue surrounds the city as if to hug it. Walking along the canals you will notice how they run between the narrow ancient streets. There are little bridges to cross and great wheels to look at with mossy blades turning in the river.
L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue is famous for its many antiques shops, and hosts antique markets most Sundays. It is a small town with many waterside cafés and restaurants, all within walking distance of each other.
