The best way to experience the \u201cLittle Venice\u201d of Provence is with a walk along the many canals<\/strong>. The mossy paddle-wheels<\/strong> are reminiscent of times when over 70 mills<\/strong> were powered by the Sorgue River thanks to the flourishing grain, oil and paper production<\/strong>, and the later tanneries and spinning mills<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The charming Old Town<\/strong> in the center of which is the Notre-Dame-des-Anges Church<\/strong> is perfect for leisurely strolls through the streets. Enjoy culinary specialties<\/strong> and local treats<\/strong> in the numerous restaurants, cafes and bars<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Today L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue is also known for its antique shopping<\/strong>. In the old warehouses around the station you will find countless antiques and secondhand shops<\/strong>. Twice a year, at Easter and in mid-August, the large antiques<\/strong><\/a> and flea markets are second only to Paris.<\/p>\n

L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue is an attractive place<\/strong> to be and is the perfect starting point<\/strong> for exploring the close by well-known areas of Provence. Famous places like Avignon<\/strong>, Gordes<\/strong>, Roussillon<\/strong>, Bonnieux<\/strong>, Lacoste<\/strong>, M\u00e9nerbes<\/strong>, Saint-R\u00e9my-de-Provence<\/strong> and many more are only short distance away. Even the Mediterranean Sea<\/strong>, for example Prado-Plage in Marseille or Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, are only about an hour away.<\/p>\n
