"Isle Sur La Sorgue is a fantastic town that prides itself on having the crystal clear Sorgue river running through it. The river's water was amazingly clear and pristine; it was alive with small fish and seaweed that floated through the water. We visited on Sunday, the day of the Antiques market, which took place in the crowded streets of the city. After wondering through the rues and plazas filled with customers looking for unique items, we found ourselves in the church of Isle Sur la Sorgue. On the outside, there was a rounded end that had amazing columns creating interesting shadows. We then proceeded to go into the interior of the grand church. We were astounded by the mix of colors, architecture, and nature light that flooded our eyes as we walked in through the side door. The alter was magnificent with its beautiful detail not just at ground level but also with the amazing gold painted statues in the background. To fully describe what this church is like on the inside would be somewhat impossible as the mixture of rococo and baroque architecture was nothing less than awe inspiring and incredibly ornate." -Geoffrey Cook, 0f Brewster Academy
Van Gogh threw his ear in the Sorgue River, so a ceramic monument of it was created to honor the artist and can still be seen beneath the waters.
