A fun day shopping and exploring hillside villages!
You'll start the day visiting the famous Provencal market and/or antique market in Isle-sur-la-Sorgue. There you will find everything that makes Provence famous: herbs, cheese, olive oil, soap, fabrics, potteries... It is an excellent place for shopping and learning about the Provencal lifestyle.
This remarkable little town is built on piles on the Sorgue river with water running everywhere. You'll see many of the water wheels left by fabric factories that created prosperity in the town until the French Revolution.
In the afternoon we discover the hilltop village of Gordes and the colorful Roussillon, surrounded by ochre cliffs and former ochre quarries. Gordes and Roussillon are quite touristy so you might prefer visiting quieter places. Just ask your guide.
If you are interested in a wine tasting, it is possible to sample the excellent Côtes du Luberon or Côtes du Ventoux wines.
