The Massif des Ocres is one of the most remarkable landscape of the Luberon region. It extends 25 kilometers from Saint-Pantaleon to Viens at the foot of the Monts du Vaucluse.
Beautiful and unusual range of colors of sand from dark red to golden yellow, the landscape retains the memory of an intense mining conducted in the nineteenth and early twentieth century.
Sightseeing: the Conservatory of ochres, mines Bruoux ...
To the south, the hills of the Luberon dominate the quiet course of the Durance. Dry stone walls gilded by the sun, tinted facades by natural ochres from the Provencal Colorado, terraces, fountains and shaded plots, in each village, artists and artisans demonstrate their talents. On the hillsides vineyards and cherry trees grow, and the plain is full of fruit, including the famous Cavaillon melon.
