The ocher rocks offer a very special play of colors from rich yellow to warm orange to bright red. The ocher industry once flourished here, today you can explore the bizarre rocky landscape on a bike tour or hike.

Route de la Pont Julien

Highlight • Cycleway

Beautiful, small side street that connects the historic Pont Julien bridge over the Calavon with the village of Roussillon. Very nice for cycling and at the end of the route is the "Sentier des Ocres", which explains the history of ocher mining in the region very well.

Pont Julien

Highlight • Bridge

The Julien Bridge is a Roman work which is dated to the year 3 of our era. You can take the bridge by bike. What is surprising is that a modern bridge is a little further. It offers a really interesting and amazing perspective to see the two buildings side by side, and to be able to make the comparison. The large gaping holes forming part of its structure are specially designed to allow water to pass through the bridge in the event of a flash flood. This ingenious artifice allowed the Pont Julien to resist time.
