The Colorado de Rustrel, a natural wonder sculpted by ancient ochre quarries, a feeling of America in the Luberon.

Roussillon is not the only village with its own Provencal Colorado. The Colorado de Rustrel is without doubt a major site. Listed as a historic monument, this former ochre quarry, which closed in 1993, is a privileged witness to the region's geological and industrial history. Opened in 1871, the quarry provided a livelihood for many families, until the advent of industrial dyes and the Great Depression of¹⁹²⁹led to its decline and put an end to the adventure.

Un paysage aux tons ocres qui nous donne l'impression d'être dans un pays lointain. Il y a 2 trajet : le plus long monte un peu mais est facilement faisable.

Un air de Texas

Ce site naturel est d'une beauté à couper le souffle. Prenez le temps de vous y balader au moins 1h, cela en vaut vraiment la peine. Les dégradés et nuances d'orange / ocre sont d'une dépaysement total ! À ne louper sous aucun prétexte si vous êtes de passage dans le Vaucluse.
