On the last day before our departure, I would have liked to go kayaking or canoeing, but it was the only day when they were closed, so we decided instead to just visit two places.
First, we visited L’ Isle Sur La Sorgue, a beautiful
small village called the Venice of France. The many water canals make the city
so pretty, almost like Venice.
From there, we drove to Fontaine-de-Vaucluse.
On river Vaucluse, I wanted initially to go canoeing, but that day it was not
possible, I don’t even remember why. The Fontaine-de-Vaucluse is a small city
on the river Sorgue, the same river that flows through L’ Isle Sur La Sorgue. Fontaine-de-Vaucluse
is named after the fountain from where the river springs. This spring is the
largest in France and the 5th largest in the world. According to Wikipedia, the fountain surges in March and sometimes leads to Sorgue flooding the areas
around. In September, when we were there, the fountain barely had any water, but
the area around is so beautiful, limestone walls protecting the fountain. I
really wanted to descend into the cave formed by this fountain but is forbidden,
like many things in popular areas.

Nevertheless, both cities are worth a
visit. I hope to go soon back to France and explore more beautiful places and
hidden gems.
