PARIS 2024 OLYMPIC GAMES<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The expedition set off from the Bel-Air g\u00eetes and reached L'Isle sur la Sorgue by road bike. We couldn't pass up the chance to have a picnic on the banks of the Sorgue, particularly at the \"partages des eaux\".
This is a must-do tour with a choice of two extensions, route 10 or route 36, as part of your holiday, with your own bikes or our hire bikes.
Jean-Claude will be able to advise you on the best way to organise the day, from choosing bikes and restaurants to simply asking our regular bakers to make you a picnic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ISLE SUR LA SORGUE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every year (this year on 3 August) on the Caisse d'\u00c9pargne lake, come and watch the unique floating market at L'Isle sur la Sorgue<\/a>. Aboard the \u00abN\u00e8go Chin\u00bb, merchants dressed in their finest traditional garb glide from one bank to the other at the call of the public. They offer a farandole of colours and scents: fruit and vegetables, bouquets of flowers, cheese, wine, bread...
At around 1pm, when the floating market comes to an end, the traders gather in a line and sing the famous \u00abCoupo Santo\u00bb celebrating Provence.
What is the Nego Chin? It's the traditional flat-bottomed boat used by the fishermen of the Sorgue; Nego Chin can be translated as \u2018drowning dog\u00bb. You need a lot of skill to manoeuvre them, which is why these races are so impressive!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
