L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue

Antique shops and Sunday markets define this Provençal town on the Sorgue river in Vaucluse, where working water wheels line the waterways and waterside cafés and restaurants sit within easy walking distance of each other. The town is sometimes called the Venice of the Comtat Venaissin, a nickname that reflects both its river setting and its reputation as a destination for antique hunters across the region.
