May 12 & 13, Saturday & Sunday -
A compact medieval town built on the islands of five branches of the Sorgue river,which flows through, past, in and around the town, in its many natural beds and several canals. Even without gondolas, water adds a special beauty and character to a town. Sorgue has its many river branches and canals, huge overhanging plane trees and several large, lovely waterwheels. Even if the many mills are no longer working, some of the waterwheels still turn. It is famous for its many antiques shops, and hosts antique markets most Sundays.
