The place is the namesake of the department of Vaucluse. Until 1946, this was also the official name of the municipality. In order to avoid confusion, it was decided in that year to change the name to Fontaine-de-Vaucluse. Vaucluse is derived from the Latin "Vallis clausa" which means "closed valley". During the Middle Ages, the village church was a place of pilgrimage because of the tomb of Bishop Veranus of Cavaillon.

It is in this village that the source of the Sorgue emerges from the rocks, which is the largest resurgence in Europe. The underground river emerges from the depths above a dizzying cliff 230 meters high. Its flow is enormous: it is ranked fifth in the world with an annual flow of 630 to 700 million cubic meters. The beauty of this natural site makes it one of the most visited places in the department. In the past, it attracted a number of poets and writers who came to meditate here: Pétrarque, Chateaubriand, Frédéric Mistral and René Char are a few examples. A word of advice: in peak tourist season, go visit the source early in the morning, because the flow of tourists is also significant.

The Voie Verte de Calavon is a section of the Eurovélo 8 and leads through the middle of the Luberon Regional Nature Park. In spring you are greeted by the flowering fruit trees on the left and right of the path, the lavender fields are still dormant. Beautiful views of the mountain ranges of the small and large Luberon. The beautifully paved cycle path begins in Cavaillon and follows the valley of the small Calavon river for 45km. There are nicely landscaped rest areas and public toilets in two places; There is also a motorhome parking space at the old Goult train station, unfortunately without a tent area for cyclists.

The crossing at the top of the aqueduct is a must during a bike/gravel outing along the Carpentras canal. The view is superb more than 25 m above the Sorgue. Please note that the passage of an electric bike or a travel bike with loaded panniers can be problematic at the gates located at each end of the structure.

The aqua duct is very high. Over 30 meters. The walkway is about 1 meter wide, uneven old stone. On one side is moving water, the canal, the other a thin iron handrail. If you have fear of heights hang on tight. The detour is about 3 Km.
