Watery L'Isle-sur-la-Sorge,north of Cavaillon,was a marshy island in the middle of the Sorgue River.Di maklumkan aliran air dari pergunungan Fontaine-de-Vacluse(my favourite place)menuruni sampai ke L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue ini.The old town was built on piles some time in the 12th century.The river's numerous branches were channelled to surround it in a double..in places triple..ring of canals.There are still canals everywhere,and countless dripping waterwheels remain from the mills that once supplied silks,wools and paper to Avignon court.
Ever since a 'brocante'was first held in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue in 1966.
Today,L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue is famous for the biggest antiques and flea market outside Paris...but the old centre,sprinkled with fine Renaissance door ways and old town houses,is worth exploring.
There are 4 main arcades open Monday to Saturday.Le Quai de la Gare,Hotel Dongier..
Bila saya singgah disini, O & O Co is my favourite shop,yang menjual barang2 cosmetic yang bahan-bahannya dari olives.
Pernah saya membawa beberapa VVIP ke L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue ini,oolala..yang terang lagi bersuluh,yang mengantuk disurungkan bantal dan yang paling tepat..yang kenal batu manikamnya..mereka memang meminati hasilan keunikan seni yang halus ini.
Many items reflect the south carved Beaucaire mirrors,faience from Apt and Moustiers,marriage wardropes. Reached across its own little canal,are more 'bohemian' in mood and good tend more towards 20th century items and collectables...art deco furnitures,vintage toys and garden furniture.
