une balade en calèche à Roussillon
Looking for Romance? This outing is perfect for you!

We invite you to enjoy a day with your loved one on a carriage ride through the stunning landscapes of the Luberon.

Share a convivial moment with Ollivier, a native of the region and a true lover of his homeland. You’ll travel along charming Provençal country paths.

Exploring the Luberon Regional Natural Park by carriage will be a unique experience.

At the gentle pace of the horses, you’ll discover a heritage unlike any other: the ochres of Roussillon.

The natural formation of ochre and its use by humans will no longer be a mystery to you. You’ll learn how ochres are extracted and visit sedimentation basins.

WHY VISIT THE OCHRES OF ROUSSILLON?

Only two ochre sites exist in Europe, and Roussillon is one of them.

The ochres are the result of a unique geological formation that began over 230 million years ago, creating soil in striking shades of red and gold. These vibrant colours adorn the Luberon mountain with a silky, shimmering mantle.
