Antiques Villages
( 10am-6pm Sat-Mon)
If your manor house needs that perfect Louis XV chandelier,
look no further. The former mills and factories along L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue's main road
contain seven fascinating-to-explore antiques villages with more than 300 high-end stalls.
For bargains, it's better to come in mid- August or at Easter for the
antiques fairs.
