The Sorgue is a river springing from the fountain of Vaucluse which is the most important exsurgence - that is to say the largest outlet for underground flows - in metropolitan France and the 5th largest in the world. Eighteen miles (30.4 km) long, the river splits in two upstream from L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue at the water divide and creates the 'Sorgues basin' from the two main branches of the Sorgue de Velleron and the Sorgue d'Entraigues. After crossing the Sorgues plain between L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue and Avignon, the Sorgues of Entraigues and Velleron meet and flow into the Ouvèze at Bédarrides.
