Ecomuseum featuring ochre washing basins, the kiln and 3 color mills on a 5-hectare estate.

It is in the Mathieu de Roussillon ochre factory, created in 1921, that the Conservatory of ochre and colour was set up in 1994, run all year round by the "ôkhra" cultural cooperative. You will discover alone or in accompanied visits the ochre washing basins, the oven and the 3 colour mills (one red and 2 yellow) on a 5 ha estate. From April to October, a watercolour discovery area is set up and demonstrations of paint making take place.

En complément de la visite du sentier des ocres, c'est un musée très intéressant à découvrir pour comprendre la transformation et les usages de l'ocre. Une belle scénographie à l'intérieur, comme sur le parcours extérieur.

You BOF... BOF... BOF is not worth at all the price of the entrance ticket... in fact, you have to pay to visit a bookshop and ochre. Incidentally and try to justify the ticket, offers a pseudonym to visits factory, but remain so to speak nothing, the visit is done in the muddy compared to the stages of obtaining ochre and tea " pompously called; course pédagogique" is minimal... just like the panels in the park. In short, find a good book on the question and rather read it elsewhere!!!

Madame, Monsieur,
nous sommes sincèrement désolésde votre déception. Le mode de visite du Conservatoire est effectivement la visite accompagnée, plébiscitée par plus de 95% de visiteurs satisfaits et très satisfaits. Je vous invite donc à venir en suivre une dès que vous en aurez l'occasion.
