Isle sur la Sorgue is a charming Provencal town 25km southeast of Avignon. The numerous canals and branches of the Sorgue have given the town the nickname of the Venice of the Comtat.
L'Isle sur la Sorgue is the chosen home of many antique and second-hand goods dealers. Each week-end, the market counts about 300 stalls, and more than 500 during the antique fairs at Easter and August 15, attracting an international clientele.
Birthplace of the poet Rene Char, the town is also home many galleries and exhibitions.

Over the years, the antique market has become the international calling card for Isle-sur-la-Sorgue. Incontestably, the International Antiques Fair that takes place twice a year, at Easter and in the month of August, has found itself a place in the sun within the greater, highly prized European antiques market. To such a degree that Isle-sur-la-Sorgue forms today, with London and Paris, one of the cardinal points of the golden triangle. It is, in fact, the pivot around which the shops, art galleries, decorators, caterers, hotels and restaurants are the spearheads of an important economic activity for the town, whose population has gone, in a short time, from 1960 to 2007, from 7000 to 20,000 inhabitants.
