Idyllic setting on the banks of the river at Fontaine-de-Vaucluse. It is a perfect spot to sit on a terrace and enjoy the beautiful cliffs, the small mill, and the calm waters of the Sorgue.

The Sorgue is a French river in the Vaucluse department with a length of 35 kilometres.
The river rises in the Fontaine de Vaucluse, the largest karst spring in France and one of the largest springs in the world.
After the town of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, the Sorgue divides into two branches (la Sorgue de Velleron et la Sorgue d'Entraigues) which further down the valley split into dozens of small rivers, each with its own name.
All the small rivers flow in the Sorgue plain (between L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue and Avignon). The main river branches Entraigues and Velleron meet each other further on and flow into the Ouvèze near Bédarrides. The Canal de Vaucluse (can be seen as the third main arm of the Sorgue), splits from the Sorgue d'Entraigues at Rode, at a place called Les Sept Espassiers, and then flows to Avignon where it then flows into the Rhône.
