he river is a mystery, coming from nowhere, it pours out in the valley, its course lined with high lane trees, irrigates the whole area. Men took food from its waters rich in fish, it used also the stream strength for industries.

oday the river still makes the wealth of th village : it attracts many visitors coming here to walk along the river up to its source and watching the resurgence. The walk is easy, this is certainly the the most popular natural site in the Vaucluse. The Fountain of Vaucluse has a lot to offer.
