L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue
France
Join us in the storybook town of L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, Provence’s famed capital of vintage treasures, charming brocantes, and sun-drenched market days.
With its sprawling landscapes, charming villages and endless lavender fields, it's at the heart of quintessential French countryside charm. During the week you’ll have time to peruse Frances' most extensive antique market (after Paris' Les Puces!) where you'll find furniture, artwork, tapestry, silverware, glassware and more.
Wander cobblestone streets lined with centuries-old storefronts, dig through crates of faded postcards and gilded mirrors, and sip chilled rosé as you admire your finds along the Sorgue River. We’ll spend our days exploring flea markets, antique fairs, and curated shops, meeting local dealers, and uncovering pieces with soul and history.
