L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue
The town's name means Island on the Sorgue, so called because it is built almost entirely atop the Sorgue river. Although the entire town is really an antique lover's dream, with antiquarian shops and antique dealers crowding the narrow streets, it's the 30-plus year-old Sunday market that is the main event.
