About L'isle sur la Sorgue
L'Isle sur la Sorgue is a town of about 20,000 people in the Vaucluse, between Avignon and the northern Luberon, a few kilometres from Fontaine-de-Vaucluse where the Sorgue rises. Branches of the river run around and through the old centre, which earned it the name Venice of the Comtat, and six wooden water wheels still stand. It is known for antiques: over 200 dealers, many in old warehouses near the station, a flea market every Sunday and large fairs at Easter and in August. A Provençal food market runs on Sunday mornings. Homes are spread around the town, mostly sleeping about six, and all have a private pool and most have a garden.
