Known as the Venice of Comtat, L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue is a charming little town in Vaucluse. It's lovely to stroll along the Sorgue, dropping by the antique shops and art galleries on the banks of the peaceful canals. The water wheels on the river add real character to this little Provence town.
You should also take the time to discover L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue's built heritage. Wander the winding streets to admire the mansions and Renaissance houses, or visit the Collegiate Church of Our Lady of the Angels, which combines the Southern French Gothic and Baroque styles. Then head to the Argent Tower, the emblem of the town that dates back to the 12th century.
If you love all things vintage, the famous antique fair that takes place at Easter and on 15 August should pique your curiosity. Also be sure to browse the particularly colourful and lively market, held every Thursday and Sunday morning.
