Altitude 1912 meters (the plain is between 100 and 300 meters).
Territory very varied:
The Sorgues, bathed by the river and backed by the Vaucluse mountains, is the typical agricultural landscape.
Sorgue born in Fontaine de Vaucluse, magical place if any! The mysterious abyss where the bubbling fountain of Vaucluse escapes is an enigma, his background is unknown and its regular flow even in times of drought is not explained.
Third most important European city for antiques, L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue offers, every Sunday, a superb market to every loafers.

Independent Pontifical Territory from the 13th to the 18th century, this fertile plain products most of the fruits and vegetables coloring our markets, “the enclosure of my delight” for the Pope Clement V who just settled in 1309.
Carpentras, its capital, is a gem to find, the city thrives on its many markets and fairs and still has beautiful vestiges of its prestigious past: Synagogue, St. Siffrein Cathedral, Hotel Dieu 18th century.
But also lots of villages with many treasures: Caromb, Crillon-le-Brave, Le Barroux, Venasque …. all names that make you dream of !
