L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, River town in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France

L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue features a network of canals from the Sorgue River flowing through its streets, with multiple water wheels marking the urban landscape.

During the 18th century, the town's water wheels powered numerous silk factories, while the 19th century saw the emergence of paper mills along the waterways.

The Notre-Dame des Anges Collegiate Church displays a Baroque interior design with ornate decorations, representing the religious architecture of the Comtat Venaissin period.

The town holds markets every Thursday and Sunday morning along the canals, with vendors selling regional products, fresh produce, and local specialties.

Three hundred permanent antique dealers maintain shops throughout the town, making it the third largest antique trading center in Europe after London and Paris.

Things to do in Luberon: perched villages, ochre cliffs, and natural treasures of Provence

Between gentle mountains and stone villages, Luberon encompasses everything that Provence has to offer in its brightest form. Its roads wind through lavender fields, ochre cliffs, and blonde bastides clinging to hills. Here, each village tells a story from a different time, each alleyway preserves the shadow of a medieval past, and each landscape appears painted by hand. In Gordes or Roussillon, the houses play with the light; in Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, the Sorgue springs from an emerald-green abyss; and in the valleys, abbeys and castles watch over the plains.
