The Ochres of Roussillon

Highlight • Natural Monument

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.

May 19, 2022,Murs – Roussillon Runde von Gordes

Very nice tour.
Past many fields of poppies.
Unfortunately, the lavender bushes were not yet in bloom.
Very impressive was the "Le Sentier des Ocres" ocher rock in Roussillon. Sightseeing is worthwhile.
