Tips
Before the invention of synthetic dyes, it was in this industrialized zone that the ocher color was obtained. This site was closed only recently, in 1992, to be exploited for its ocher sand deposits at the end of the 17th century.

Beautiful view of the ocher rocks.
In the season you should be patient: many onlookers pour onto the path and at the most beautiful viewpoints it builds up for the photo shoot. For this you are rewarded with grandiose views, and you stop yourself to look and take pictures in peace.translated by•September 9, 2021
