This place came to my attention on reading some commercial cycle tour operators web sites who use this place as a starting point for their tours. About 25 km ride east of Avignon. Apparently it is crowded in season, but now is quiet except when I arrived on a sunny warm Sunday and everybody wanted one of Isabella's sundaes or gelatos. Like Germany, these generous sundaes seem almost compulsory
Its full name at the train station is as below. The various ways of abbreviating it can cause some confusion.
There are remains of water wheels that would have powered some past industry and justified the extensive water channelling of the river Sorgue. Now all that is a backdrop to endless restaurants and cafes.
I am here 5 nights with daily excursions to places of interest with Roman ruins, all easily accessible daily using a combination of riding and train rides.
