Exploring L’Isle sur La Sorgue
I had set my alarm for 6:30AM and was not the happiest person when it went off. I debated on missing the sunrise and sleeping some more but I’m glad I forced myself to get going. The view was very much worth it as I walked down to the pool to see it over the vineyard.
I returned to the room and got ready for the day. My husband was holding back his run until later this afternoon so we didn’t have to put his sweaty clothes straight into the suitcase. We finished getting our luggage all set to place by the door to our room as well as the bags that we would take with us on the bus for the day. From there, we headed to breakfast where again I had lovely bread with butter and some cheese while my husband had the waffles. Upon finishing, we had time to go back to the room to refresh up one last time before we loaded up onto the bus.
We were starting our travels today with a visit to L’Isle Sur La Sorgue. This is a town known for its antique shops as well as having a very large market. It also has many canals running through it that adds to its beauty.

Our guide led us on a 30-minute walk through the town and markets to give us a sense of the layout and spoke of some of the history of the church as well as landmarks to recognize to ensure we didn’t get lost. Afterwards, we had about 3 hours on our own.
Once our on own, we wandered into the Notre Dame des Anges Church. This church was originally built in 1222 but was renovated in the 17th century to an Italian Baroque style. There are over 200 angel statues within the church and filled with frescos, paintings and other sculptures.
From there, we looked in various markets and stores, picking up a metal lion as well as some truffle mustard and salts.
