L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue



Our first morning in Provence was spent at the weekly market in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue. Only a 20 min drive for us, we wandered through the narrow streets, inhaling all of the scents of the various stalls. There was everything for sale; including 5 paris of espedrilles for 20 euro, linens, clothing, herbs, AMAZING olives, vegetables, fruits, meats, smelly cheese, stinky fish, and anything else you could imagine... For a change in France most of the stores were open on Sunday morning & it was wonderful. Definately something to go back to, and an interesting town to see on a "normal" day in Provence. We had lunch next to one of the canals and the waterwheel, then spent the afternoon back at our apartment on the estate....
