Just 27 km east of Avignon, tucked between Cavaillon and Carpentras, Isle Sur la Sorgue is a haven for shoppers, art hunters and antique aficionados. This beautiful island city is surrounded by picturesque canals flowing along well-preserved, age-old streets. Isle Sur la Sorgue is a lovely town to stroll through. Go up and over the small bridges while visiting the moss-covered paddlewheels, which served as the heart for Isle Sur la Sorgue's 18th-century silk factories. Locals suggest the ND des Anges Collegiate Church, the Hospital pharmacy with its original interior design, and the mansions that house art galleries of famous French artists. Isle Sur la Sorgue is most notorious for its 300 antique shops, especially around Easter and mid-August where an antique fair pops up with dealers from all over the world.
