Isle sur la Sorgue was formerly located on an island in the middle of a marsh area. The inhabitants built gradually channels. There are small bridges with wrought-iron railings. These give the city the reputation of being a small kind of Venice. Isle sur la Sorgue is today known as antiques stronghold known. In the countless picturesque alleys will be held in the summer once a week a beautiful antiques market. In old warehouses near the train station dealers sell alltime antiques and second-hand goods.
