About L’Isle sur la Sorgue

The town began life as a little fishing village and gained its name due to the fact that the town is quite literally on its own little island in the middle of the River Sorgue. The waters were used for fishing, irrigating crops, washing clothes, and washing ash (known as buagdo).
