Roussillon – Ochre Trail

=> Walking the breathtaking Ochre Trail

This is a trail which has been laid out in the former open-pit ochre quarries, where the cliffs are streaked with red and gold. Takes about 30 or 60 minutes depending on the trail you choose.
A geological wonder. Ochre quarries and cliffs streaked with red and gold ochre sands have made Roussillon one of the most famous sites in the Luberon. You can stroll amidst the ochre landscapes, follow the trail and learn from the explanatory signs which describe how the sands were formed and mined in the old ochre quarries.
It's open from February to December.
