Antique Hunting near Avignon

Some of the best antiques in Provence can be found at Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, just 20 minutes from Avignon on the banks of the river Sorgue. There are seven antique villages and over 300 boutiques selling antiques of all kinds, from furniture and art to silverware and vintage linens.  The village itself is adorable, with its historic canals and wooden mills, giving it the reputation of a provençal Venice. The antique villages are open on Saturdays, Sundays, Mondays and holidays, and every Sunday there is an outdoor brocante.  Over 500 dealers come to the town to sell their wares on the weekend closest to Assumption Day (August 15), be sure not to miss it!
