The Ochres of Roussillon

Highlight • Natural Monument

The ocher rocks offer a very special play of colors from rich yellow to warm orange to bright red. The ocher industry once flourished here, today you can explore the bizarre rocky landscape on a bike tour or hike.

Wonderful highlight!
Once you've paid the entrance fee and are on your way, you feel like you're in the Brice Canyon. If you have children, please bring old clothes 😉

View of Roussillon's bell tower

Highlight • Monument

The medieval bell tower is built quite unadorned. The bell is hung in a visibly free metal frame, which is crowned by a high cross.

On our way to Provence, we stopped in Roussillon. The world-famous ochre cliffs of Roussillon have lost none of their charm, even 30 years after my first visit as a geology student. However, they are now marketed more cleverly. Parking costs money, and the short hiking trail costs extra.

Both the nature in Okka and the town in the same riot of colors is worth seeing. The formations of the mountains with their overlapping color gradients are tender loving care for the soul. The colors can be found in the beautiful town. Here in the shops, of course, it's all about color. Unfortunately I can't paint, just see well😉 …
