Details

Fontaine-de-Vaucluse - a small village around the Fontaine de Vaucluse, a spring in a valley at the foot of the Vaucluse Mountains. It is named after the spring, the source of the River Sorgue. The principal point of interest is the source of the Sorgue at the foot of a cliff 240 metres high, the subterranean basin of 1200 km2 feeding the source is -308m deep. It's a nice village to visit with the ruins of a castle, an ancient paper mill and a Resistance-, Petrarch- and Santon museum.
