THE DOMAINE DE LEOS

OUR
TERRITORY

The Domaine de Leos bears the identity of the Comtat Venassin and of the town of L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue.
The history of Domaine de Leos is connected to that of Comtat Venaissin, often nicknamed “  la belle Provence   ”. No doubt thanks to the richness of its history, the beauty of its heritage, the omnipresence of water and the presence of tutelary Provençal figures. Thus, it is in the heart of Comtat, at the Château de Fontségugne, in Châteauneuf de Gadagne, that Frédéric Mistral and his poet friends invented Félibrige, a founding literary movement for Provençal culture.

It is also there, between Carpentras, Fontaine de Vaucluse and Avignon, that Petrarch, poet and humanist, was born and spent most of his life.
Our town, L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, is located in the golden triangle of Provence, delimited by the 3 “   A   ” (Avignon, Arles and Aix-en Provence), which is both the gateway to the Luberon, and the crossroads between the latter, Mont Ventoux and the Alpilles.
With its canals dating from Roman times, its water wheels recalling the excellence of its textile industry, and the richness of its heritage, our “   Venise Comtadine   ” (the “   Illa de Venissa   ”, in Provençal) is a symbol of quality of life in historic Provence.
It is also a city of art and culture. Recognized as a capital of antiques and art galleries, it holds 3rd place in Europe for flea markets and antiques. Many personalities from the world of arts and culture have passed there, lived there or still live there. The poet René Char received Albert Camus, Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque and Nicolas de Staël there!
The Domaine de Leos carries the DNA of this city, as charming as it is exciting. Because the “Plateau de Margoye”, which constitutes most of its land, housed the first inhabitants of the city. And because both have strong values ​​in common: excellence, passion, creation, well-being and sharing mark their identity.
Our Domaine also recognizes itself in Isle-sur-la-Sorgue’s desire to assert itself as a “world village” ***. On the one hand, by defending its human dimension and its quality of life. And on the other hand by being open to others and to the world. This openness is reflected in particular by the quality of welcome that the city demonstrates. As evidenced by its population, its personalities, its artists, and its economic, tourist or cultural clientele, coming from all continents.
This is why Domaine de Leos is proud to support the “ Fondation Positive & Villages-Monde” and the collective dream of its founders. Women and men who wish to make their “  village-world   ” the ideal city of tomorrow, by working for a civic, sustainable and altruistic approach to the development of their territory.
*** “L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue Village-Monde” is the logo adopted by the town in its plan of development and attractiveness.
