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?
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.
