The villa stands in the hills above Isle sur la Sorgue, the Venice of Provence which is the heart of the antiques trade in the South of France. The town used to be a centre for silk production and many working waterwheels remain from that era. A lively market takes places every Thursday and Sunday. Restaurants can be found for fine French dining or a simple lunch on a terrace by the river. The Luberon valley with its charming villages is on the doorstep, just a short drive away. Visit the castle of the Marquis de Sade in Lacoste and the enchanting Menerbes, Bonnieux and Gordes. Avignon, seat of the pope in the 13th century boasts a lively Arts festival in the summer and offers a gateway into the famous wine regions like Chateauneuf de Pape. Aix-en-Provence, Arles, St.Remy and the Camarque are all easily accessible with Marseille and the Mediterranean coast an hours drive from Isle.
