The Colorado de Rustrel, a natural wonder sculpted by ancient ochre quarries.
Roussillon is not the only village to have its Provencal Colorado. The Colorado of Rustrel is undoubtedly a major site. Classified as a historical monument, this former ochre quarry, which closed in 1993, is a privileged witness of the geological history of the region, but also of its industrial history. Opened in 1871, this quarry supported many families until, at the beginning of the 20th century, the appearance of industrial dyes and the 1929 crisis caused its decline and put an end to the adventure

Gratuite du Parking pour les journées du Patrimoine, bonne surprise !
Après une petite balade pour y arriver, on débouche sur un superbe paysage! Le contraste des couleurs (le rouge ocre et le vert de la végétation) rend ce site superbe!
