*** Please note that the parking costs 8 Euros per car, so it would be best to consider carpooling when possible*** Si le parking s’appelle “mille couleurs" c’est que nous découvrirons les mille couleurs de l’exploitation de l’ocre pour en faire des colorants. Pour se faire une idée de l’étendue de ces anciennes carrières nous en ferons d’abord le tour avant d’y plonger profondément et d’en apprécier les infernales couleurs. Pas de doute c’est un Colorado à la dimension de la France. The car park is called "mille couleurs" (a thousand colors) because we will discover the thousand colors of ochre mining used to make dyes. To get an idea of the extent of these ancient quarries, we will first walk around them before diving deep into them and appreciating their infernal colors. There is no doubt that this is a Colorado on the scale of France. Lunch: Bring a picnic lunch. Dogs: NO Difficulty: 6 Duration:4h20 + lunch Length : 12 km Elevation : 304 m
Meeting point : Parking “mille couleurs” at 10:00AM. Comptez 8 € par voiture.
