Cycling itinerary - The Sorgues River Region

Start: Isle sur la Sorgue. This itinerary takes you through the beautiful villages and architecture of the Sorgues and Monts du Vaucluse area. Then on to Isle sur la Sorgue, knwon as the Venice of the Comtat, famous for its canals, water wheels, and antique dealers. The town has always been inextricably related to the fast-flowing crystal clear Sorgue river, the true treasure of the entire area. Then, on to Le Thor, built along the Sorgue river, and delightfully cool and breezy even in the heat of the summer. See the lovely Romanesque church, Notre-Dame-du-Lac. Thouzon Hill rises in the countryside – home to the fabulous Thouzon caves, and the ruins of a fortified priory. Then comes Châteauneuf-de-Gadagne, a charming town, cradle of the Provencal movement with a rich past. The village already existed iver a thousand years ago. At the top of the village stands the Château de la Chapelle, with a 360° view over Mont Ventoux, the Monts du Vaucluse, the Luberon and the Alpilles. Circuit created by CCPSMV www.oti-delasorgue.com
