i know the time and effort you put in to plan, right, narrate, and produce these super enjoyable videos is A LOT - just for us to enjoy! Merci Beaucoup!!!!
Was there in July 84.Having a superb dinner on the terrace with my wife & looking up you could see the catle on the hill.I think it was the best time of my life.Thank you.
The view along the river is gorgeous, the water is so clear and turquoise color. I really enjoy your commentary as well as the virtual walk. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the video and appreciated the beautiful views along the Sorgue River. It’s always a pleasure to share these wonderful experiences with others. Stay tuned for more adventures and thank you for joining me on this virtual walk through Fontaine-de-Vaucluse!
This is a lovely travelogue thank you. I have been there a few times with my late partner as we spent several weeks each year in the beautiful Luberon. I will be spending a couple of weeks in L'isle sur laSorgue from the middle of September and plan on visiting Fontaine-de-Vaucluse. It will be my first visit back to the Luberon since my partner died so there will be bittersweet memories.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm truly touched that the video brought back such special memories of your time in the Luberon with your late partner. Fontaine-de-Vaucluse is such a peaceful and beautiful place, and I hope your upcoming visit, although bittersweet, offers you moments of reflection and connection to those cherished memories. L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue is lovely in September - the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the beauty of the region. Wishing you a peaceful and meaningful trip back to the Luberon.
Thank you Pierre, for this amazing and brilliantly presented video. I have been to Fontaine de Vaucluse a few times, with my late husband, friends and on my own. I find it the most serene and relaxing place. I choose to park a few hundred metres from the commune on the road from Isle sur la Sorgue mostly after the marché but also later in the day for dinner. I have seen the source empty and full and they are different but beautiful either way. You have given me a permanent record which I can watch whenever I feel the need to reflect on my visits.Thank you for this, Pierre, from a long time Australian fan of French Moments. Sue.
Quel magnifique endroit que ce village traversé par la Sorgue avec ses incroyables couleurs et l’impressionnant site du château ! À visiter aussi la papeterie qui fonctionne avec des machine d’un autre temps et produit un papier étonnant
I asked myself the same question. These caves or caverns are not accessible by a signposted path and there is very little information about them on the internet. I wouldn't be surprised if these karstic caves were home to people in the distant past.
Bonjour Pierre. Good job and thank you on capturing Fontaine du Vaucluse especially Source and "other" Source. I was there visiting in June. Unfortunately, the site was closed off to visitors. I appreciate your work. I wonder....Is there a map of all the Sources in Southern?
It's a shame you weren't able to reach the spring, but in summer it's usually dry. To my knowledge, there is no map of springs in the south of France. :)
@@FrenchMoments I am bummed too that I didn't get to see it. However, I will be going back in October and will explore. Your video truly did a fantastic job of "uncovering" the other source. Thank you.
Man I would love to see every side and the back of that dragon statue up close. I’ve seen a picture of it and it’s so interesting. Who was the artist, is the man wearing a deer skin? That’s one of the most fascinating statues I’ve ever seen.
@ I’ve found pictures of other angles of this. What I thought was a deer skin is an unusual point of view of the shape of the dragon’s tail and the man, Saint Vèran’s foot. I have read somewhere that this took place around 600 AD. Thank you for your video. What a lovely village and church.

At 32:46, across the valley from the castle, looks like caves. IS that so? If not, what are they?

Sorry I don't know the name of the artist behind the statue - but it's a unique piece by the church indeed! :)
