It's worth taking the shortcut to Lagnes. The direct route leads through a small road that is somewhat dug into the rock and looks like a beautiful, narrow ravine. Very good to drive!

Source of the Sorgue

Highlight • River

The sorgue source is much too touristy for me ... nice in the evening just before sunset when all the tourists are gone

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.
