Of course not to be compared with the ocher trails near Roussillon or in the Colorado of Rustrel, but still very beautiful and especially recommended as an introduction to the world of ocher. It's quiet here and you can climb around freely and color your hands. All around there are hidden paths, rugged edges and caves.

Very nice walking area with ocher mines that are freely accessible. This is the most beautiful part.

The old mines converted into mushroom farms are worth visiting with a powerful enough lamp to fully enjoy the place.
