L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue

Highlight • Other

A classic warm-up ride once you arrive in St. Sat'. Cycle route du Calavon, a coffee in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, and a bit of enjoying life, then via Gordes and Murs back to St. Sat*. And for coffee, there are various options in town.

Fontaine-de-Vaucluse

Highlight • Monument

It is in this village that the source of the Sorgue springs 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 many poets and writers who came to meditate here: Petrarch, Chateaubriand, Frédéric Mistral and René Char are a few examples.

A word of advice: in the height of the tourist season, go and visit the source early in the morning, because the flow of tourists is also significant.

Gordes

Highlight • Castle

Gordes is a hilltop village that attracts a lot of people due in large part to its magnificent view. What is less known, however, is its part under the village: "The caves of Saint Saturnin" A real underground village.

View of Gordes

Highlight • Settlement

Beautiful view of the "bird's nest village" - many of the original villages that cling to the hillside have been restored over the past few years, although Gordes is one of the most beautiful
