The source of the river sorgue is beneath a 230 metre high cliff face, it is the biggest spring in France and the fifth largest in the world with an annual flow of 630 million Cubic metres.
Strangely where the water exits at the source, it appears calm and yet it soon gathers pace and power.
After recent rain fall the water is flowing at 28M3 per second, thats enough to fill our swimming pool in under four seconds - just imagine that!
Whether summer or winter its a village worth visiting despite the 4 euro parking charge and some rather tacky shops on the route to the source.
