PICTURESQUE French market. Spent a few hours taking in the scenery, eating pastries, drinking cafe, and shopping for produce, fruit, meat, cheese, flowers and even some simple clothing! Lots and lots of antiques, as others have mentioned. This could easily take an entire day to enjoy, even though it's relatively small. The canals are beautiful and lots of great spots for pictures. We did not experience any high pressure selling whatsoever. We took home a roasted chicken and potatoes for dinner. Made a quick green bean and tomato salad with olive oil and lemon, all purchased at the market. Most vendors only take cash so be ready. Little English spoken but it was fun to practice our French. Parking can be tricky to find. Many vendors close up just past noon. We would definitely go back.
The market is extremely large. I’d say it’s too large. Super crowded. Very hard to find parking if you don’t get there early enough. Many multiples of stalls and lots of Knick knacks. Other markets in the area are more manageable and have the same stuff. Visiting the town on a non market day lets you see the real beauty of the town. Show up early or late (after 1pm) and parking and visiting becomes more manageable.
Such a lovely town. Stayed Sept 25, picturesque with a fabulous Sunday market which is heaving! Great choice of restaurants, bars & shops to mooch about in.
Larger market winding through town and along canals. Lovely. Lots of food, cheese, bread, clothing, antiques. Town itself is very nice.
A very charming place. To find parking, it's best to arrive by 9:30.
Very busy lunch time during summer time ..lots of cafes don't take card so make sure you have cash in hand. There are cafes around fountain in the middle . Waiting time is Long ,but the problem is pegion and water in the fountain stinks .Lots of shops and cafes nearby .... beautiful town with lots of tourist . Shops are way too expensive ,you go to small towns like caroentras you get the same items for the half of price . Good for a half day out .
Awesome!!! We went to the market in October and it rained the whole time but it was so worth it to still be out and about! Great market with lots of amazing things to buy- very friendly people
Huge market! After scrambling to find parking (hint: get there early), didn’t know where to start. So many options and side streets. This market spreads all over the town. Have never seen anything like it.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful walk along the water Surrounded by water, L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue offers pretty routes along rivers and canals, punctuated by numerous old water wheels. It's very pleasant, it would be more so if car traffic was better controlled in the city center. (Original) Belle balade au bord de l’eau Entourée d’eau, L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue offre de jolis parcours le long de rivières et canaux, ponctués de nombreuses roues à aube anciennes. C’est très agréable, cela le serait davantage si la circulation automobile était mieux maîtrisée dans l’hyper-centre.
(Translated by Google) It's worth going full circle following the river to see all the wheels. (Original) Val la pena fer tot el cercle seguint el riu per veure totes les rodes.
(Translated by Google) Magnificent Isle sur la Sorgue and with a little attention you can meet some famous people there but be discreet, it's a holiday for everyone (Original) Magnifique Isle sur la Sorgue et avec un peu d'attention on peut y rencontrer quelques personnages connus mais soyez discrets, c'est les vacances pour tout le monde
Lovely street of water wheels running from the center of town to the river at its edge. It's less busy than the more pedestrian streets and provided a quiet walk.
(Translated by Google) Very pretty street with its old wheels and without too much traffic because it is outside the city center. (Original) Très jolie rue avec ses anciennes roues et sans trop de fréquentation car hors centre ville.
(Translated by Google) Exciting canal with a dozen watermill wheels, small bridges and houses, Caritas, atelier (Original) Emozionante canale con una decina di ruote da mulino ad acqua, ponticelli e case, caritas, atelier
(Translated by Google) All these comments pique my curiosity. Coming regularly to the Isle-sur-la-Sorgue area is the perfect excuse to treat yourself. (Original) Tous ces commentaires piquent la curiosité. Le fait de venir régulièrement aux alentours d'Isle sur la Sorgue est l'excuse idéal pour aller se faire plaisir.

(Translated by Google) Really good and the swimming pool is just top notch. The owners are super friendly and we can’t wait to come and taste a raclette 😍 (Original) Franchement bon et la piscine est juste au top. Les proprio sont super sympa et on se languit de venir pouvoir goûter une raclette 😍
You must reserve to enjoy the pool!
(Translated by Google) Great discovery! After a nice walk near the river, we found this restaurant which has a great setting, friendly and pleasant. Very friendly owner who communicates easily with his customers, even children! Copious and truly delicious dishes and a little visit from the wife, the cook, to offer sweets to our daughter. Really charming owners. We will come back this winter with great pleasure to discover their typical dishes! (Original) Belle découverte ! Après une jolie balade près de la rivière, nous avons trouvé ce restaurant qui dispose d'un super cadre, convivial et agréable. Proprio très sympathique qui échange facilement avec ses clients, même les enfants! Plats copieux et vraiment délicieux et petite visite de l'épouse, cuisinière pour offrir des bonbons à notre fille. Des proprios vraiment charmants. Nous reviendrons cet hiver avec grand plaisir pour découvrir leurs plats typiques !
(Translated by Google) Warm welcome, starter with a very well filled summer toast and excellent quality ingredients from the owners' beautiful regions. A delicious sirloin steak with well-respected rare cooking. A cheesecake to end the meal, which exceeds all expectations. Very reasonable prices. Highly recommend going there! (Original) Accueil chaleureux, entrée avec une tartine de l'été très bien garnie et d'excellente qualité des ingrédients venant des belles régions des propriétaires. Un faux filet délicieux et avec une cuisson saignante bien respectée. Un cheesecake pour terminer le repas, qui dépasse toute attente. Prix très raisonnables. Conseille très fortement de s'y rendre !
(Translated by Google) Pleasant restaurant, the food is good, the dishes are good, simple and inexpensive, an exception in the area. And their mojito is the best in the region :). But more than a restaurant, it's an unexpected encounter that awaits you with a man and his wife who love their job. They invite us into their home as if we were at home. Very welcoming, don't hesitate to take an interest in their work which is one of their passions and you will have a truly unforgettable time. Don't hesitate to open the door of this establishment even if behind you you discover a man covered in tattoos, with a big beard and.... Oh, I'll say no more, go there and discover their warm welcome. The only fault I find with this restaurant is that it is not near my home. I will make it my canteen and I will make friends with the guests. I highly recommend one of the best restaurants I have eaten at! (Original) Restaurant agréable on y mange bien, les plats y sont bon, simple et pas cher, une exception dans le coin. Et leur mojito est le meilleur de la région :) . Mais plus qu'un restaurant c'est une rencontre inattendue qui vous attend avec un homme et sa femme qui aiment leur métier. Ils nous invitent chez eux comme si nous étions chez nous. Très accueillant, il ne faut pas hésitez à s'intéresser à leur travail qui est l'une de leur passion et vous passerez un moment juste inoubliable. N'hésitez pas à pousser la porte de cet établissement même si derrière vous y découvrez un homme couvert de tatouage, avec une grande barbe et .... Oh j'en dis pas plus allez y et découvrez leur accueil chaleureux. Le seul défaut que je trouve à ce restaurant et qu'il n'est pas à côté de chez moi, j'en ferai ma cantine et les hôtes j'en ferai des amis. Je recommande fortement l'un des meilleurs restaurants dans lequel j'ai mangé !
(Translated by Google) A very pleasant place, visited in the evening but which must also be visited during the day with access to the swimming pool after having had main course and dessert or starter and dessert. Relaxing decoration, really friendly staff, service by the boss himself, a welcoming and very kind gentleman, his wife in the kitchen who brings out tasty dishes, generous portions that are absolutely fantastic. We recommend sharing the senses to which we give 5 well-deserved stars. Hoping to come back very soon.i (Original) Un lieu très agréable, visité en soiree mais qui doit l'être aussi en journée avec accès à la piscine après avoir pris plat et dessert ou entrée et dessert. Décoration reposante, personnel vraiment sympathique, service par le patron lui même, un monsieur avenant et très gentil, son épouse en cuisine qui sort des plats goûteux, des portions généreuses absolument fantastiques. Nous recommandons le partage des sens auquel nous mettons 5 étoiles bien méritées. En espérant revenir très vite.i

Such a striking difference between the outside and the inside. Simply breathtaking.
An ornate church in the centre of the old town. Frothing with decoration, sculpture and frescos. An interesting engagement with modern art which is dotted around inside and outside and has explanations in English. A cool spot to escape to when the heat gets too much! We didn’t pay to enter but there may be a charge at other times.
Fascinatingly decorated huge church at the center of town. It has sculptures, paintings, and wall decorations that reward close exhortation. The church is located opposite several charming sidewalk cafes and serves as the hub of radiating pedestrian streets. A must visit site when in the city.
This is the main square with the church. You can access the source of the spring from here or sit in one of the restaurants. There are few parking spots here and the place is not very acceasible for wheelchairs and strollers.
An ornate church located near the centre of the old city. Not completely restored but still note worthy.
A beautiful Catholic Church with many fine arts and relics inside.
Unexpected astonishing church. From the outside it never lets you imagine what marvel is hidden in the inside. Breathtaking!
Beautiful baroque church

A must-visit, the orphanage-turned-muséum features changing exposures across various themes and genres. The current expo «faire corps» is an intriguing collection of classic and contemporary (colorful) pieces and installations. Definitely worth a visit, if for nothing else to get a break from the buzz and heath, while getting a shot of culture. Entrance is free.
This stylish villa just outside the island hosts sculpture exhibits. It was free when we visited and the works on display were excellent. The building itself and surrounding grounds are as wonderful in design as the art pieces it houses. This place is definitely worth visiting when in the city.
Super interesting and well curated exhibition & lovely garden. They also currently have a nice collection of art books (related to the exhibition) you can look at.
Beautiful building and very avant-garde art displays by female artists this year.
Beautiful and thoughtful exhibit
Beautiful place, peaceful gardens and always interesting exhibitions!
A wonderful gallery with friendly staff. Free entry into a beautiful space with a well curated exhibition- couldn’t recommend highly enough!
An absolutely wonderful art space, with yearly exhibitions that are thoughtfully curated and thoroughly pleasant. The garden space is magnificent and showcases the outdoor artwork so very well. I can't believe it's free, what an absolute treat! Cannot wait for next year!

Fantastic breathtaking experience, never too old to love your dolls. Karen Ireland
This tiny museum is a gem and worth a visit. The owner has collected dolls and various toys for over 60 years and brought the place to life for me and my children. She is very kind and let my kids crank some music boxes and toys. It's located in a great shopping area so it's worth stopping in. Please visit to help keep this sweet little museum alive!
Amazing place with lots of history, worth a visit to anyone in the area! Super nice and knowledgeable staff too!
This private museum is amazing! The owner is very friendly and kindly guided my family and I around. She told us precious curiosities regarding the historic toys that only enriched the experience! If you visit L'isle sur la Sorgue, be sure to pay a visit!
Very interesting place to visit and many beautiful and rare pieces showcased. The owner is also adorable and very welcoming!
Nice little place. Very old and antique toys and dolls
Small but cute and interesting
(Translated by Google) I was delighted to discover this pretty place. The lady who owns the dollhouse is very welcoming, she told us different stories about the oldest dolls. Among all the dolls you also have the possibility to buy one if you want. Don’t hesitate to introduce your children, if you ever pass through the area, to toys that they won’t know about elsewhere. (Original) J’étais ravie de découvrir cet joli endroit. La dame qui détient la maison de poupée est très accueillante, elle nous a raconté différentes histoires concernant les poupées les plus anciennes. Parmi toutes les poupées vous avez aussi la possibilité d’en acheter une si vous voulez. N’hésitez pas à faire découvrir à vos enfants, si jamais vous passez dans le coin, des jouets qu’ils ne connaîtront pas ailleurs.
