Sainte-Victoire

    Aktief

    Hiking in the beautiful surroundings of the Sainte-Victoire is fun for the whole family. Do you have older children? Then climbing the Sainte-Victoire is a fun challenge. The mountain (1011 metres) is a symbol of Provence, a major point of interest in Aix and was also the source of inspiration for Cézanne.

    Le Colorado Provençal

    Aktief

    You will never forget a walk in Le Colorado Provençal! In this beautiful area you can enjoy walks in pine forests with countless bright yellow and sometimes vermilion red rocks, a beautiful colour contrast! This unique and protected area created by the mining of ochre from late 19th century until the mid 20th century. The ochre mining arose by the excavation of the earth, which resulted in this fascinating 'moon landscape'. There are walking and cycling routes along the most impressive rock formations.

    Le Sentier des Ocres

    Aktief

    The former ochre mine of Roussillon now acts as 'Le Sentier des Ocres': the ochre path. There are two different hiking routes, one of 30 minutes and one of 60 minutes. In this way you can really enjoy the beautiful ochre landscape, especially at the end of a sunny day during sunset. Special experience!
