A local would say...

A medieval street where dyers once ran their trade is now lined with bohemian cafés and galleries — the sound of the River Sorgue trickling past plane trees makes it feel like a secret Provence.

A picturesque canal-side pedestrian street in Avignon's old dyers' district, Rue des Teinturiers takes its name from the textile workers who once operated waterwheels along the River Sorgue. Today the same street is known for its bohemian bistros, independent gallery-workshops, and the shade of ancient plane trees. Stone benches beside the gently trickling water make it one of Provence's most atmospheric urban walks.
