A few minutes away, in the heart of a small artisanal zone in Le Thor, hides an unexpected place: a French whisky distillery . Yes, in Provence!
Les Chineurs de Malts offers guided tours and tastings where passion, expertise, and local roots are reflected in the bottles. For those in a hurry, the shop adjacent to the distillery is open to the public, with no reservation required.

3. A drink at the Art Brok Café in Velleron
Possessing arguably the most beautiful terrace in Velleron, the Art Brok Café is a little gem for those who love unusual places. The furniture and equipment were sourced for a timeless atmosphere. Featuring a fine wine list by the glass and a wide range of whiskeys, you can enjoy the temporary exhibitions, chat with the regulars, and enjoy a concert or a summer aperitif. Perfect for extending your visit to Velleron and forgetting the notion of time passing.
4. A nature trip on an electric scooter with Explora Trott

5. L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue market & ice cream at Freto
No need to introduce it: the L'Isle market is a benchmark. Selected among the most beautiful in France in 2025, it's perfect for strolling among antique dealers, Provençal products and the art of living. And for gourmets: Freto , the ice cream parlor on the banks of the Sorgue, is a must-see. Classic or original creations, their ice creams are simply excellent! Loïc
