We Found France’s Little Venice | L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue 4K Walking Tour

Some places in France feel like they belong to another time. This France walking tour in 4K explores one of them – L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, sitting in the heart of Provence on a network of clear green channels, its old streets winding past ancient moss-covered waterwheels, flower-lined bridges, and antique lanes that feel centuries old. Known as the Little Venice of Provence, it is a town most visitors to the region never take the time to find. We are glad we found this gem.

We follow the Sorgue river through the heart of the old town, wandering past the famous waterwheels, crossing the flower-filled bridges, exploring the sunlit antique streets, and finding our way to the grand collegiate church of Notre-Dame-des-Anges. The perfect travel guide if you are planning a summer 2026 trip to Provence – or simply want a quiet walk through real French life at home.

We are Michelle and Charlie. After some difficult years and ongoing health challenges, we found real comfort in slow travel. We started filming these peaceful walks to share that feeling with others, and the warm response from viewers has become a meaningful part of our own journey.
