Colorado Provençal de Rustrel

You are at the main entrance to the largest visitable Provençal Colorado in the region. Located in the town of Rustrel, the site has real paths that evolve among ocher formations and a beautiful pine forest. A true kaleidoscope of colors, these sandstones are the work of an ancient sea (Thétys) which came to deposit these impressive strata. This sandstone thus forms a very beautiful sedimentary rock.

Although the site is large, it is a victim of its success and generates large numbers of visitors during the summer period. It is therefore preferable to come and admire it early in the morning or out of season.

At the very beginning of the hike, there is a hut at the edge of a stream that sells drinks and snacks.

A great site to see and review. Above all to respect.

A pretty big area for hiking. The color plays of the individual regions are very impressive. If you do not feel like cleaning up your hiking clothes with ocher colors, a hike is only recommended in dry weather.
