Description
This apartment is located in the heart of one of France's most beautiful villages, world-famous for its famous Sorgue spring, Europe's largest resurgence. It has become a geological curiosity that has long challenged mankind. The flow of water from the chasm traditionally attracts crowds, especially in spring, when the bubbling waters provide a spectacle of rare intensity. The beauty of this natural site, jealously preserved today, has made it a land of choice for poets such as Petrarch, Boccaccio, Chateaubriand, Mistral and Char.
The village is surrounded by the Vaucluse mountains, giving the enclosed valley its name, Vallis Clausa. Fontaine-de-Vaucluse is built around its exsurgence of the Sorgue, in a cul-de-sac valley at the foot of the Vaucluse mountains, between Saumane-de-Vaucluse (5.5 km) and Lagnes (3.6 km) and 7 km from L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue.
If you're looking to rent out this apartment, it's the ideal choice, thanks to its location: your guests will be right in the heart of the village, with an unobstructed view of the Sorgue and its central Aube wheel, and will be staying in a beautiful building that still needs a few finishing touches. You can also choose to live in this apartment as your main residence if you're looking for a T2, as life in this village is very pleasant, very quiet in winter, and very lively in summer with its many events and programs for tourists and local residents alike. You'll never get bored. You're just 6 km from Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, also known as the French capital of antiques and design.
The nearest TGV station is Avignon TGV (35 km away). The commune is served by the A7 freeway exits at Avignon Sud or Cavaillon.
There's an elementary school, post office, local shops (mini-market and bakery), restaurants, cafés, ice-cream parlors, clothing, shoe and souvenir stores, museums, and activities such as canoeing, kayaking, hiking, trout fishing and tree climbing. Fontaine de Vaucluse is part of the Communauté de communes du pays des Sorgues et des Monts du Vaucluse. The nearest doctors, chemists, physiotherapists, osteopaths and nurses are in Lagnes, 3.5 km away. For the nearest supermarkets, go to l'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, 7 km away. The village is served by bus, route 921 (l'Isle, Saumane, Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, Lagnes, Cabrières d'Avignon, Coustellet) from Monday to Sunday.
My opinion: ideal for seasonal rental or as a first purchase for a young couple.
