La Sorgue

La Sorgue is a picturesque river in Provence, known as the 'Venice of Provence' thanks to its charming canals and historic water wheels. Its source is at the famous Fontaine de la Vaucluse, creating a remarkable aquatic ecosystem.

Along the river, you can admire historic water wheels that once powered silk and paper mills. The site of the 'Partage des Eaux', where the river splits into various canals, is an ideal spot for a relaxing stroll or picnic.

On Sundays, the area around the river comes alive with one of Europe's largest antiques fairs, attracting collectors and art lovers.
