Our first day trip from Avignon was to the Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, a small medieval village built around the source of the Sorgue river. It's apparently the largest spring in France and the fifth biggest in the world. This time of year, the water is quite low and moving slowly, and the trees are barren of leaves; but the whole village is still incredibly beautiful. Our original destination for the day was a well-known antiques market town called L'Isle sur la Sorgue, which is where we celebrated my birthday with my Mom last year. Taking a look at the bus route, we decided to ride a few more stops to explore Fontaine-de-Vaucluse. So glad we did.
