    Entrance point to the so-called Colorado Canyon. It has all required facilities, cafeteria, water and chill place in the shadow to have a rest after the exciting walk via the Colorado. There is a paid parking, do not try to find any free one, because the parking fee contains 6 tickets to visit the Colorado. Plan around 3 hours to visit this place.

    Ok this is industrial history walk of an old quarry which closed in 1991. Entrance is 5 euro with a map. There are walking routes but on our visit the only route open was blue route due to potential fire risk, which I in my opinion was so true very dry and hot. The blue route about 2 km. I would advise you down load the app, there short codes around on site. I never quite worked it out but type in circuit on the search and I went blue route it can then give an audio guide which was nice, but the app took a fair bit of trying to work it out. I am not a geologist or natural world expert so my view may be different. I had a pleasant walk around a disused quarry with different coloured sands. It was bit of MARS. Make sure sensible shoes and bottle water. Staff were friendly. Cash at car park. Some small café to buy drinks. Sorry for not going wow! but for me ok. Maybe a school geography teacher would put me in detention until I realise the beauty and complexity of earths movements. I see old quarry with coloured sands.

    Such a gem in France. I recommende to visit this place in spring winter or autumn. It might be very hot during summer and there are no shade on the hiking/walking tracks. You can take a picnic and spend some time in the Park. There are tables and benches everywhere . A hat and sunscreen is à must. The whole visit is about 2hr.

    Nice place to visit, the colors of vegetals / minerals of the canyon are bluffing. The parking is really big and easy to enter in. Planning some refreshments is a good idea as the only place near the entrance offering drinks, food and restroom is quite expensive for the goods proposed and the big loop is quite long to make (and hot of course during summer time).

    Lovely place! Definitely worth visiting! A few more signs could be added as we were not always sure we were staying on path and going in right direction. I saw some people struggling with that too. The picnic benches at the car park were amazing! I felt like in American movie all the time!

    Amazing landscape, great hiking trails, of varying lengths, plenty of vantage points for photos. Small Cafe and WC on site.

    Beautiful scenes. the orange track took us 1 hour. I enjoyed the fact we had to reserve: not too crowded and site involved in its preservation.

    I have trouble with long walks, especially with inclines, so this trek was somewhat difficult for me. However, by taking it slowly, I was able to make it to the actual site of the ochre hills. Have to say it was worth the hike. Thankfully it was sunny but cool. It's quite an unusual sight ; very photogenic.

    Amazing views. Super organized trail with easy signs to get around. Plenty of people but not too crowded. Would definitely recommend

    Nothing too exciting, I recommend putting trekking shoes as there are some slippery wet bits. Carpark with toilets and shade 12 euros for 2 people and a van

  • 5/5 Helen E. 10 months ago on Google
    A beautiful place to explore with 2 marked paths. It really feels as though you're in a desert landscape. Parking costs 5€ per car for the day. There are also a couple of places where you can buy a drink and a snack.

    Beautiful canyon walking area. We bought tickets in advance for the 11h slot. Was afraid it was going to be crowded, but was pleasantly surprised. We did the long loop and only crossed a handful of other hikers. Lots of knowledgeable rangers around. Easy path ways and some great viewpoints. There's also some picnic tables in the parking lot so you can have lunch there. You can follow my travels @revelintravel

👍👍 Easy to change continent in the middle of Provence with the cicadas! it is very exotic and surprising to be on this red earth, ochre, very charged in various pigments. very beautiful family ballad, it is rather hot in summer, therefore it is necessary to imagine water and drinks.

👍👍 Des pistes pour tous les niveaux. Des moniteurs incroyablement sympathiques, pas bcp de monde. De quoi pique-niquer avec ses propres sandwichs. Parfait. Prévoir de l'eau ou un peu de sous pour en acheter car il n'y a pas l'eau courante. Sachez que du parking, il y a environ 10min de marche. Venez...
