The Sorgues area: villages and waterways

At the foot of the Monts de Vaucluse, water from the Fontaine de Vaucluse spring feeds the Sorgues waterways. River branches, canals and farmland shape this Provençal plain. From L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue to Le Thor, Velleron and Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, these features explore villages, markets and heritage closely linked to water.
