About the locale:

Mas de la Galifette is also conveniently located near l'Isle sur la Sorgue, a must-see destination in Provence. This "island city," nestled at the foot of the Vaucluse Plateau in the Comtat Venaissin plains, is characterized by its lush greenery and the shimmering reflections of water from the canals that wind through its heart.

The river Sorgue embraces the city, and as you wander along the canals, you'll discover narrow, ancient streets, charming bridges, and moss-covered water wheels that once powered local industries like crayfishing, silk, and paper production. Just a kilometer away lies the "partage des eaux," where the river splits, forming a serene pond surrounded by plane trees and verdant foliage.

L'Isle sur la Sorgue's rich history is evident in its 14th-century significance in Comtat Venaisson. The Collegiate church Notre Dame des Anges boasts an exceptional Baroque interior, and the 18th-century hospital pharmacy houses a rare collection of Moustier faience. Magnificent mansions have been transformed into art galleries, including the renowned Maison René Char - Hotel Donade de Campredon (18th century), a museum showcasing artists like Miro, Mauguin, and Dufy, with a dedicated area for René Char's works.

Antique enthusiasts and art collectors will be delighted by the nearly 300 permanent antique dealers and second-hand shops. L'Isle sur la Sorgue hosts renowned antiques fairs at Easter and over the August 15th holiday, attracting customers worldwide.

To fully appreciate the city's charm, it's recommended to leave your car in the designated parking area and explore the town on foot, immersing yourself in its unique atmosphere.
