Isle-sur-la-Sorgue : antiques weekend and riverside coolness
Cool air, light and water – here you feel the presence of the limpid green waters of the Sorgue river, which gushes from its underground source in Fontaine de Vaucluse.
In Isle sur la Sorgue, affectionately nicknamed the Little Venice, the bright sunlight is somewhat tempered by the cool green waters, creating a lovely play of shade, water and sun. Altogether an ideal setting to poke about the antiques and collectibles’ shops and find your heart’s desire.
Isle sur la Sorgue, capital of the antiques trade
With 7 villages of antique dealers, 5 « groups of boutiques » and numerous shops and galleries (open all weekends and public holidays), L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue is now reknowned as the 2end largest antiques trade in France after Paris.
Every Sunday, bargain hunters and passers-by meet on the banks of the Sorgue, where the bric-a-brac market has operated for 30 years.
Refreshing canoe / kayak floats
The Sorgue river is a true oasis of beauty and cool water in the summertime. Springing forth at the Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, the river is a marvellous playground for fun and sport. Regulations cover the use of the river.
