Through the Ochre Hills of La Bruyère

Highlight (Segment) • Other

Here in the former ochre open-cast mine you can really let off steam on your mountain bike. If you want to take a break, you can visit the former ochre open-cast mine caves or take some time to take a photo or two. There are plenty of unique photo opportunities of the bright red ochre rocks here.

The simple stone structure here is called a “Borie”. In Provence you will find countless of these dry stone walls. They were created in the 18th and 19th centuries and are mostly built outside villages and small towns.

Rustrel's Provencal Colorado

Highlight • Gorge

The Colorado Provençal of Rustrel, located in the Luberon, is a unique landscape with flamboyant colors, the result of the former exploitation of ochre quarries. This site offers an exotic walk through rock formations sculpted by time, with hues ranging from yellow to bright red. The well-marked trails wind between cliffs, dunes and fairy chimneys, offering spectacular views of these impressive reliefs.
