e Thor is a pleasant little provençal town in the heart of the Sorgues rivers country. The Douzabas gate, with its clock and its campanile shows the centre of the city.

e Thor owns a noteworthy architectural heritage : some ruins of the old city walls but above all a superb provençale Romanesque church :

the church Notre Dame du Lac

he village was founded i the early Middle-Age, it developed around a castle and by drainage of the surrounding swampy soils.

The river arms go across the city and give a welcome freshness during summertime. The Sorgues rivers criss-cross the village and the country around, irrigating fields and orchads.

ust 2 km from Le Thor, a nice walk to the top of the Thouzon hill will bring you to the suggestive ruins of a fortified monastery from the Middle-age. Underground, the spectacular Thouzon cave is a real geologic jewel.
