L’Isle sur la Sorgue lies on an island in the River Sorgue. It is less well known and so has much more local charm and traditional character. Encircled by canals and the River Sorgue, it is known as the ‘Venice’ of Provence. The tree-lined river with its arched stone bridges and old water wheels is most attractive and there are café and market scenes to paint. The centre of L’Isle sur la Sorgue is compact and easy to walk around. Your hotel is in the old town and within walking distance of everywhere. The lavender fields and hill-top villages of the Luberon are just a short drive from L’Isle sur la Sorgue.
