La Sorgue

The crossing at the top of the aqueduct is a must during a bike/gravel outing along the Carpentras canal. The view is superb more than 25 m above the Sorgue. Please note that the passage of an electric bike or a travel bike with loaded panniers can be problematic at the gates located at each end of the structure.

Fontaine-de-Vaucluse

Highlight • Monument

It is in this village that the source of the Sorgue springs from the rocks, which is the largest resurgence in Europe. The underground river emerges from the depths above a dizzying cliff 230 meters high.

Its flow is enormous: it is ranked fifth in the world with an annual flow of 630 to 700 million cubic meters. The beauty of this natural site makes it one of the most visited places in the department. In the past, it attracted many poets and writers who came to meditate here: Petrarch, Chateaubriand, Frédéric Mistral and René Char are a few examples.

A word of advice: in the height of the tourist season, go and visit the source early in the morning, because the flow of tourists is also significant.

View of Gordes

Highlight • Viewpoint

Gordes is a Provencal village located in the heart of the Vaucluse mountains. The high-altitude village was built entirely from dry stone and is one of the most beautiful villages in France.

From here you have a fantastic view of the old town with its Gordes Castle, which stands on a rocky peak about 360 meters high and rises about 300 meters above the valley level. The view of the mountain village is simply stunning, especially at sunrise.

View of Gordes

Highlight • Settlement

Beautiful view of the "bird's nest village" - many of the original villages that cling to the hillside have been restored over the past few years, although Gordes is one of the most beautiful

View of Gordes

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the Route de la Combe, the view of Gordes is truly breathtaking. This hilltop village, one of the most beautiful in France, is revealed with its dry stone houses that seem to hang on the hillside. In the background, the rolling landscapes of the Luberon add a touch of magic to this panorama. The road winds through Mediterranean vegetation, between olive trees and holm oaks, offering a new perspective on Gordes at every moment.
