Cycle Route No. 36: Ride along the banks of the Sorgue

Get your bike out and enjoy a ride to explore the Sorgues Plain from the village of Le Thor by way of the L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, the Venice of Comtat, on this easy 27 km loop.

This easy and well-marked cycling route starts in the village of Le Thor, where you can admire the Romanesque church of Notre Dame du Lac, alongside the Sorgue. The Caves of Thouzon are also near the route, if you want to pay them a visit.

Once you leave Le Thor heading towards L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue you will find yourself on the Sorgues Plain, where the orchards and fields are planted with an abundance of sun-kissed fruit and vegetables.

This rich and fertile land has even allowed passionate farmers to embark on the cultivation of lavender, an emblematic Provençal plant that can be admired in full bloom in the height of summer.

When you reach L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, take the opportunity to enjoy the coolness of the river banks, ride alongside the canals and marvel at the waterwheels or head to Partage des Eaux for a picnic!

If you are an aficionado of antiques and bric-a-brac, pay a visit to some of the 300 shops, which are open to tempt you from Friday to Monday.

The return ride to Le Thor takes you along shady little roads where the crops are sheltered from the mistral by cypress trees.
