Dauert etwa 30 oder 60 Minuten, abhängig von der gewählten Strecke. Ein geologisches Wunder. Ochre Steinbrüche und Klippen mit roten und goldenen Ockersanden haben das Roussillon zu einer der berühmtesten Stätten im Luberon gemacht. Man kann in den ockerfarbenen Landschaften spazieren gehen, dem Pfad folgen und von den erklärenden Schildern erfahren, wie der Sand in den alten ockerfarbenen Steinbrüchen geformt und abgebaut wurde. Der Park ist von Februar bis Dezember geöffnet. (43.90000, 05.29858) – handy shot
