Old Cavaillon Line

Highlight • Cycleway

This is one of the nicest bike tracks I have seen. Here used to be a train track and it was converted to a cycle path. Only downside is that it's regularily interupted by"obstacles" forcing you to slow down...I guess that's the purpose ;-)

Lovely view of the Sorgue

Highlight • River

Idyllic setting on the banks of the river at Fontaine-de-Vaucluse. It is a perfect spot to sit on a terrace and enjoy the beautiful cliffs, the small mill, and the calm waters of the Sorgue.

Fontaine-de-Vaucluse

Highlight • Monument

It is in this village that the source of the Sorgue springs from the rocks, which is the largest resurgence in Europe. The underground river emerges from the depths above a dizzying cliff 230 meters high.

Its flow is enormous: it is ranked fifth in the world with an annual flow of 630 to 700 million cubic meters. The beauty of this natural site makes it one of the most visited places in the department. In the past, it attracted many poets and writers who came to meditate here: Petrarch, Chateaubriand, Frédéric Mistral and René Char are a few examples.

A word of advice: in the height of the tourist season, go and visit the source early in the morning, because the flow of tourists is also significant.

Saumane-de-Vaucluse Climb/Descent

This nice climb rises evenly over good asphalt through the forest. At the end of the climb you can visit a castle. (Was not open on 2 Sep 23).
