In the heart of the Luberon, between green hills and picturesque villages, hides a natural treasure unique in France: the Colorado Provençal. This former ocher mining site offers a striking spectacle, between red, yellow and orange soils, reminiscent of the landscapes of the Great American West.
Colorado Provençal is the fruit of geological and human history. In the 19th century, this site experienced intense activity linked to the extraction of ocher, a natural pigment taken for its coloring qualities in paints and textiles. Today, the old quarries, shaped by human tools and natural erosion, offer a unique landscape in Provence, combining sculpted cliffs, multicolored dunes and shaded paths.
