A Quarter in Provence: L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (again!!!) and Fontaine de Vauclause   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) Soon he mentioned he was from Taiwan and Richmond struck up a conversation with him in Mandarin Chinese; apparently he was a tour guide who had turned his flock loose on the town for a while. After leaving town we headed to Fontaine de Vaucluse, the source of the Sorgue river (the same on which L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue was built.) It's in a rather rugged section of the mountains, and the river itself springs out of a huge cave near the base of a tall cliff. Actually, when the water is low (as it was when we were there), the cave is just a quiet pool low in the cave, and the actual source is about 100 meters downriver in a pile of boulders, but supposedly a couple days after a rain the cave becomes a gushing torrent. www.jprowland.com /lacoste/2005/09/lisle-sur-la-sorgue-again-and-fontaine.html   (561 words)

Luberon villages in Provence:Gordes, Menerbes, Roussillon, etc. The Luberon is characterised by a series of strikingly picturesque perched, hill-top villages, dating back 1000 years or more - famous names like Gordes, Roussillon, Bonnieux, Lacoste and Menerbes. To understand why they are there, perched and huddled atop hills and promontories, you have to consider that this part of the world has been fought over for many centuries, exchanging hands by fair means and foul, pillaged and ravaged by invading hordes, as well as decimated by various plagues. The architectural richness of this land has grown from seeds planted through the ages by the endless generations that have sprung up, flowered, and ceased to be in the soil of the Luberon. www.theluberon.com /villages.htm   (347 words)

The Secrets of Provence - Provence | Travel + Leisure As I stood at the Fontaine-de-Vaucluse one day, watching the green cascade romping savagely from its clandestine source, I was struck by its affinity with the saga of the Marquis de Sade: sexuality and water power are only two of the countless manifestations of energy that society must curb and rechannel in order to survive. It was not until after the Second World War, after he had been championed and rehabilitated by the Surrealists and all taboos on his work were lifted, that the writer and his village finally had their renaissance. Though Lacoste had grown increasingly poor since Sade's time, the lurid reputation of his texts began to draw thousands of tourists there. www.travelandleisure.com /articles/the-secrets-of-provence/?page=2   (1566 words)
