Isle sur la Sorgue

From Roussillon we rode the bus to the Isle sur la Sorgue on Thursday, a market day. It is an interesting little town on the Sorgue River.

Waterwheels were once a source of power used to process wool and silk.

It was a fairly large market with vegetables, meat and fish.

There were also nuts, olives and garlic.

There was time for a midmorning break for Fred and Bobbie before the picnic.

We enjoyed a picnic at a little park right along the river. It was here that we had our first taste of pastis, a licorice flavored aperitif.
