A day in the Luberon: Gordes Roussillon L’Isle s/Sorgue
Overview
The tour will start with a visit to L’Isle sur la Sorgue, a town built on an old swamp and surrounded by canals, or a walk to Fontaine de Vaucluse where you will see the fabulous natural spectacle of the Sorgue spring overflowing on the rocks (after a period of heavy rain only).
Then, you will take a guided tour of the Mines de Bruoux, former quarry where ochre was extracted mainly used in painting and dyeing, then you will enjoy the picnic consisting only of fresh products from local farms.
To digest, you will visit the colorful village of Roussillon whose house facades are stained ochre, but you will also enjoy the view offered by the village on the surroundings.
Finally, after a photo stop on the hill facing Gordes (elected the most beautiful village in the world by an American magazine), you will have free time in the village to close the circuit.
