Why Roussillon Ochre Trail matters

Around Roussillon, old ochre quarries have left cliffs in shades of red, orange and yellow. A short trail takes you through these colourful landscapes. Wear shoes you do not mind getting dusty. Best in dry weather, because the ground can become slippery and sticky after rain.

Talking points

  • Quarries left cliffs in vivid colours.
  • A short trail loops through them.
  • Colours are brightest in sunshine.
